Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

KickOff's prediction and odds from the bookmakers suggest that this Eredivisie clash will be on for the neutrals, with at least 3 goals to scored in the fixture. As we don't have an obvious winner here given their latest form, we're going with the statistics and past head-to-head (H2H) records below, both of which point to over 2.5 goals being the best bet here.

Goal Statistics

A PG of 2.5 is decent for NEC Nijmegen in their meeting with Groningen, as is their run of scoring 1 goal or more in 21 consecutive Eredivisie outings.

Groningen's fans will be hoping for goals on Sunday afternoon, not least because NEC Nijmegen have conceded in each of their last 7 Eredivisie games. A PG of 1.5 for Dick Lukkien's side suggests that run should continue.
