Sun 1st Nov, 15:45 BST, Hitachi Capital Mobility Stadium, Groningen

Rogier Meijer pays counterpart Dick Lukkien a visit on Sunday afternoon in the Eredivisie, as their Sparta Rotterdam and Groningen charges face each other at the Hitachi Capital Mobility Stadium. We've analysed both sides' last 20 Eredivisie matches, as well as trends within the competition and the market, to generate our percentage predictions. All the stats, including head to heads (H2H), are shown below, alongside the best odds.

Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

All things considered, our prediction for Sunday's fixture is over 2.5 goals, meaning that we expect Groningen and S.Rotterdam to score 3 goals or more between them during the regulation 90 minutes. 2 goals or fewer would mean the time doesn't win but, with statistics below suggesting there will be plenty of firepower on the pitch, we think there's good reason to feel confident.
