Groningen at home have had a mixed run lately, with a couple of wins but also a loss and two recent draws. Excelsior, coming to visit, are in a very consistent run of form, having drawn all of their last five matches.

Looking at their recent meetings, the last game had a couple of goals, but the two before that were goalless draws. This suggests the match could be quite tight, with both teams finding it hard to break the other down.
