Correct score prediction: Groningen 1-2 Feyenoord

*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Groningen have yet to taste defeat so far this season, though their record will be under severe threat on Saturday and the 5/1 underdogs could lose for the fourth time in a row against Feyenoord.
Feyenoord dropped two points in the Rotterdam against Sparta before the international break, though the 9/20 favourites look well positioned to bounce straight back against Groningen. View our range of other Eredivisie tips on our free football predictions page.

Player to watch – Igor Paixão
Igor Paixão has scored just once this season for Feyenoord, though he has been averaging a healthy 3.00 shots per game in the Eredivisie so far, so expect his goal tally to climb soon.
Paixão has punished Groningen before
Paixão scored after just 19 minutes when Feyenoord last visited Euroborg to play Groningen in January 2023 and the diminutive Brazilian winger has the technical talents to do some more damage against the same opponents on Saturday.
