FC Groningen
- FC Groningen have enjoyed a solid start to the Eredivisie 2025-2026 campaign, currently sitting in 5th place after 10 rounds.

- Brynjolfur Andersen Willumsson has been Groningen’s biggest star this term, leading the line with 5 goals from just 6 Eredivisie appearances, while they have won 3 of their last 5 in the league, losing the other 2.
- A hard-fought 2-1 away win over Fortuna Sittard on Wednesday has set Groningen up well for the weekend’s clash, although Lukkien’s men will have to improve their recent home form, where they have won just 1 of their last 3 Eredivisie games (L2). This reflects some of the trends we consider in our FC Groningen vs FC Twente betting tips.
