Prediction

  • Life as an Eredivisie club begins this week for Groningen and NAC Breda. Groningen spent one season away from the Dutch top division, while it was a five-year exile for Breda.
  • The last Eredivisie meeting between the teams occurred in February 2019 at Rat Verlegh Stadion and ended in a goalless draw.
  • NAC has had the upper hand against Groningen recently, being unbeaten in their last three Eredivisie matches (with one win and two draws). Groningen is seeking its first top-flight victory over NAC since December 2018.
  • Romano Postema captured attention for Groningen in the previous season's Eerste Divisie by scoring 18 goals, the fourth-highest total among the league's top scorers.
  • In the last league campaign, NAC was led by Dominik Janosek with 11 goals.
