📰 Team News: FC Groningen

It doesn’t get much better regarding selection, with just the lone fitness concern for the FC Groningen manager Danny Buijs to be concerned about from an otherwise fully-primed squad. Arjen Robben (Fitness) is out of contention. Damil Dankerlui will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

🗞️ Team News: Vitesse

Due to a mostly full-strength group of players, there’s only the sole fitness issue for the Vitesse boss Thomas Letsch to contend with. Matus Bero (Unknown Injury) won’t be playing here.

⚡ Prediction

We’re of the view that Vitesse and FC Groningen may both find scoring difficult here.

A draw is a real possibility, as a clear-cut winner doesn’t appear to be obvious. Therefore, we predict a close game with a 0-0 scoreline at full-time.
