Preview: Groningen vs. Feyenoord - prediction, team news, lineups

Sports Mole previews Sunday's Eredivisie clash between Groningen and Feyenoord, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

Unbeaten in 12 games across all competitions, Feyenoord visit the Euroborg to face off against Groningen on Sunday.

The hosts are also in fine form heading into the game having lost just one of their last nine outings.

Feyenoord secured top spot in their Conference League group following a 2-1 win over Maccabi Haifa on Thursday.

Goals from Cyriel Dessers and Reiss Nelson put Arne Slot's men in the box seat, before Din David pulled one back for his side in stoppage time.

Prior to that, the Rotterdam-based club claimed an emphatic 5-0 victory over Fortuna Sittard at De Kuip on Sunday.

Consequently, De Stadionclub remain a point adrift of Ajax at the top of the standings in what is set to be a two-way battle for supremacy.

Next up for Sunday's hosts is the visit of an opposing side who have won just one of the last 18 meetings between the teams.

Groningen were denied a third consecutive win following a 1-1 stalemate versus PEC Zwolle on Friday.

Danny Buijs's men went behind in the 14th minute thanks to Mees de Wit's opener but restored parity in the second period thanks to Thomas van den Belt's own goal.

The Pride of the North are in 12th place at the moment having missed out on an opportunity to move into the top half.

Unbeaten on their home turf since September, Sunday's hosts will back themselves to upset the odds and come away with a positive outcome in this one.

Team News

First-choice goalkeeper Justin Bijlow has missed his side's last four games and is also a doubt for this weekend's contest.

Arne Slot rang the changes for his side's European tie, but we expect him to revert to his strongest starting XI for this one.

Damil Dankerlui and Radinio Balker both miss out through injury, while Michael de Leeuw is not expected to play due to illness.

Tomas Suslov has recently returned from suspension and is in line to be given the nod right from the off in this one.

Groningen possible starting lineup:
Leeuwenburgh; Kasanwirjo, Sverko, Te Wierik, Van Hintum; Duarte, Dammers, Ngonge; Suslov, El Hankouri, Strand Larsen

Feyenoord possible starting lineup:
Marciano; Malacia, Senesi, Trauner, Pedersen; Kokcu, Til, Aursnes; Jahanbakhsh, Sinisterra, Linssen


SM words green background

We say: Groningen 1-2 Feyenoord

The sides boast an array of attacking talent, so we expect goals at both ends of the pitch. We are also backing the visitors to carry the day, albeit by only a narrow margin.
