Willem II vs Groningen Prediction & Betting Tips (26 April)

This game has huge implications at both ends of the table, with Willem II battling to stay up and Groningen attempting to book a place in the playoffs. Although the two teams have very different ambitions, they each seem to love a draw, with the Willem II managing six in 12 fourth-tier home games and the Groningen securing a good place in the Eerste Divisie.

When Groningen come calling in the Eerste Divisie, over 2.5 goals tends to follow, with nine of their previous 11 away games subscribing to this particular scoring model. Given that seven of the most recent nine Willem II home matches at this level have also served up two goals or more, any deviation from this script would come as a surprise when the teams meet.

Willem II are currently on a run of 11 consecutive top-flight fixtures in which they have both scored and conceded during the same 90 minutes, so consistency has certainly not been lacking on this particular front. This has also been the case in five of the previous six Groningen matches at this level, meaning that clean sheets are likely to prove hard to come by.
