Preview and Teams Comparison.
Sunday’s action gets underway with a classic Eredivisie rivalry, the 51st top-flight edition of the ‘Derby of the North’. Heerenveen are unbeaten in 21 of the 25 H2Hs held here (W16, D5, L4) though more topically, this may not be enough to get the neutral fan watching considering games here have produced a league-low average of 1.4 total goals per match this season. Heerenveen youngster Jens Odgaard has now scored a quarter of his side’s league goals after netting in four of his last six appearances. Yet although the Abe Lenstra has seen a league-low seven match goals this season, there has been just one goalless first half as six of those seven goals arrived before the break. This could be another tight affair, given that Heerenveen have drawn six of their last eight home league games, blowing a half-time lead in two.
Heerenveen are the best-disciplined Eredivisie side this season (1.1 bookings per match average). Whilst Groningen have not conceded in 191 minutes of league football, they have shipped seven goals across their last three away games. There’s been 25 combined cards shown across the last six league H2Hs (23 yellow, two red: 4.17 per match average).
Danny Buijs’ Groningen are winless away from home since their opening day victory at Emmen (W1, D1, L3). Notably, the visitors conceded the opener in three of those games though only trailed at half-time once (HT: D4, L1). Groningen forward Charlison Benschop has scored in back-to-back games for the first time since March – both saw Groningen win ‘to nil’. The visitors’ rotten streak looks likely to continue here though, as since the beginning of last Eredivisie season, Groningen have a win rate of just 17.65% when entering the match as an away outsider (W3, D4, L10).
