http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Groningen-c39119
Eredivisie action resumes on Sunday as the fallen Eredivisie giants, Feyenoord Rotterdam lock horns with FC Groningen in what promises to be a fascinating encounter.
De Stadionclub have been struggling this season, but it looks like they are finding their rhythm as the progresses towards the end. The Rotterdam outfit recorded a 2 – 2 draw against the in-form http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Heracles-Almelo-c39520
the week before.
However, they are currently placed 15th in the league table with 25 points from their 24 matches so far, with three points separating them from the danger zone. Team manager, Mario Been, is optimistic for his side to claim better results in the
remaining fixtures and achieve a respectable position in the league table.
On the other hand, the Pride of the North has every right to be pleased with their results so far this term. However, the league title looks far-fetched for the Green-White-Army, following some poor results in recent weeks. After their thrashing 7–1win against
the bottom ranked http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roda-JC-c40375 Kerkrade 4 – 1 last week and spilled two points against De Graafschap 1 – 1 the week before.
The Pride of the North are currently placed fourth in the league table, acquiring 44 points from their 24 matches. Team manager, Pieter Huistra, has every right to be pleased with his side, as they have achieved good results so far this season. Huistra took
over the managerial hot seat at the start of the season. His side is unlikely to win a UEFA Champions League spot for next season, as they trail the second placed FC Twente Enschede by a mammoth seven points. However, he will be hoping to claim good results
in the remaining matches and cement his side’s place in the top four of the league.
Head-to-Head statistics
De Stadionclub and Green-White-Army have won two of their last five encounters each and one game ended in a stalemate.
Prediction
It will be an exciting fixture as both sides will be desperate to bag all three points. However, the match will conclude 2 – 1 in favour of the home side.
NEC Nijmegen vs. FC Utrecht
NEC Nijmegen will host FC Utrecht on Sunday at McDOS Goffertstadion in what will prove to be an exciting clash.
NEC caused all sorts of problems to the reigning champions, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Twente-c39233 Enschede last week with a 1–1 stalemate. The hosts are currently placed tenth in the Eredivisie table, acquiring 31 points from 24 matches. NEC have bagged a point or more in their last
five matches, but their best performance on the pitch was staged last week against the Tukkers.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wiljan-Vloet-c36841,
will be hoping that his side emerge victorious in the upcoming fixture and improve their standings in the league table.
On the other hand, Utrecht have remained unbeaten and they have bagged a point or more in their last five encounters. Utrecht failed to impress against Heracles Almelo last week, as they had to settle for a 1–1 draw.
Team manager, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ton-c35408 du Chatinier, will be hoping that his side improve their playing record on the road with a win in this match. Chatinier’s side is currently placed eighth in the league table. However, any slipups can dent their hopes of playing in the Europa
League next season.
Head-to-Head statistics
FC Utrecht has won three of their last five encounters against NEC. The Nijmegen outfit managed to emerge victorious in one game and the remaining match ended in a stalemate.
Prediction
It will be a hard fought 1 – 1 stalemate as the two sides will be forced to share the spoils.
