Preview

Match preview

Groningen host Twente in round five of the Eredivisie, looking to stop a two-match slide. After opening their league campaign with consecutive wins against Utrecht (2-1) and ADO Den Haag (4-1), Groningen suffered back-to-back defeats against PSV Eindhoven (5-1) and Fortuna Sittard (3-2), leaving them with ten goals conceded across four fixtures.

Twente travel with solid momentum after securing consecutive 4-1 victories over Cambuur in the league and Qarabag in European action. With six points from their opening three league matches and seven goals scored, the visitors have demonstrated consistent firepower in the final third.

The head-to-head history strongly leans towards the visitors, as Twente are undefeated in their last ten encounters with Groningen, recording five wins and five draws. Notably, every one of the last five meetings held at Groningen ended level, showing a persistent pattern of closely fought contests between the two sides.

Confidence

Twente have avoided defeat in each of their last ten competitive matches against Groningen, claiming five victories and five draws. Groningen enter this contest on the back of consecutive losses, having conceded eight goals in their last two outings against PSV Eindhoven and Fortuna Sittard.
