Cambuur are heading into this match in really poor form, having lost their last three games and gone five matches without a win. Their recent defeats have been by a two-goal margin or more, which shows they are really struggling to keep things tight at the back. Groningen have also had a difficult time lately, losing three of their last five games, but they have managed to pick up two wins in that run, including an away victory. So while both teams are inconsistent, Groningen at least have recent positive results to build on.

Looking at the history between these two local rivals, the matches have been very competitive and have often seen goals. Over the last six meetings, both sides have traded wins, but Groningen have had the edge recently, winning the last two encounters. The most recent clash ended 3-0 in their favor, and three of the last four meetings have seen at least two goals scored. Given Cambuur's current poor run and Groningen's slightly better momentum, this looks like a match the visitors can win.
