Groningen Preview – Can Groningen secure top seven spot?
With just two games remaining of the Dutch top flight regular season, Thursday’s hosts, Groningen sit in 7th place and hold a six-point cushion over 8th placed Sparta Rotterdam and the hosts head into this clash on the back of a resounding 4-0 win away at Emmen last time out.
However, Groningen had previously suffered a three-match losing streak in the Eredivisie, losing to Heerenveen, PSV and Sparta Rotterdam, so there’s no guarantees of all three points here on Thursday night, especially given that high-flying AZ are coming to town.
Groningen had previously been unbeaten in their previous six games at home but they’ve lost their last two on the trot at home and are expected to face another tough examination against AZ in this encounter.
AZ Preview – Can AZ jump into 2nd spot?
Having collected back-to-back wins in recent times in the Dutch top flight against Waalwijk and Fortuna Sittard, AZ will be in confident mood as they prepare for this trip to Groningen as the visitors look to grab all three points which could lift them up into 2nd spot at the expense of PSV.
Recent results have been impressive for AZ who have picked up 10 wins out of their last 12 matches overall while on the road, AZ possess a solid looking record of 9-5-2 36/23 which includes winning six of their last eight on their travels.
One thing in AZ’s favour here as well is the fact that the visitors have failed to score in just one of their 16 matches away from home and they look to hold the edge over Groningen in terms of firepower.
