ADO Den Haag (home)
- ADO Den Haag are undefeated at home this season in all competitions (W3, D1, L0) with 3.25 goals scored and 0.75 goals conceded per-game.
- ADO Den Haag will look to exploit the spaces behind FC Groningen's patient and orderly build-up play when the two Dutch outfits meet at Bingoal Stadion on Sunday in what promises to be a tight but exciting match.
- Robin Peter has had a positive impact on the club since taking over on 14th July, 2025, bringing with him a high-tempo, aggressive counter-press with which ADO can win the ball high up the field and hurt teams quickly.
- They have won three, drawn one and lost one of their last five matches in all competitions, although their two most recent outings have seen them held to a 0-0 draw at home to Asteras Tripolis and then lose 2-0 away to AZ Alkmaar, suggesting the attack has cooled a touch.
FC Groningen (away)
- Groningen have won one and lost two of their three away matches in all competitions so far this season, scoring four goals on the road.
- Dick Lukkien's side have been much more up and down in their recent results with four wins, one draw and five defeats in their last ten across all competitions.
- Groningen's last three games have been a 4-0 home thumping by FC Volendam, a 0-0 draw with Volos NFC and a 1-0 win away to Real Valladolid, which suggests a side yet to find their rhythm.
Head-to-Head
The head-to-head record stands at one win apiece in the last two meetings, with ADO failing to win their last home game in this fixture.
Betting Insights
- Groningen will be the slight favorites at 2.37 with ADO available at 2.77 and the draw priced at 3.7.
- Main selections: Over 2.5 goals (1.6) and Both Teams to Score - Yes (1.5); there is a slight preference for an away win in the exact score market given the hosts' poor record against Groningen at this ground.
Prediction
Groningen beat Den Haag 2-0 away from home in the Eerste Divisie in 2023/2024 but this looks like a tie game that could go either way, with the high pace of ADO's game enough to get under the skin of Groningen's build-up if they can pin them early and force mistakes in dangerous areas.
