Heracles have had a tough time lately, losing their last two games. In their last five matches, they won two but lost three, so they have been struggling to find consistency. Groningen, on the other hand, have been more up and down, with two wins, one draw, and two losses in their last five. Their recent form shows they can win on the road.

When these two teams have met recently, there have been plenty of goals. In their last three meetings, two matches finished with four goals, and one had two goals. Groningen have won two of those last three encounters. This match looks close, but Groningen seem in better shape and have a good record against Heracles. It should be an open game, with Groningen likely to come out on top.
