Groningen preview: Hoping for a third win in four games

Things haven't been going well for Groningen this season as they're currently 13th in the Eredivisie standings with 15 points from 14 matches. That being said, Groningen have won two of their last three games in the league, so we could be seeing their resurgence, at least when it comes to moving further away from the relegation zone.

Meanwhile, Tika de Jonge, Finn Stam, and Fofin Turay remain out with injuries.

Predicted lineup: Vaessen (GK), Bacuna, Rente, Blokzijl, Prins, Valente, Resink, Hove, Mendes, Postema & Willumsson

Zwolle preview: Hoping for another good showing at home

Just like their next opponent, Zwolle have also won twice in the previous three Eredivisie rounds. However, just like Groningen, Zwolle also have 15 points, but they sit one spot above their upcoming rival due to a slightly better goal difference. In any case, Zwolle will hope to continue their solid run and come even closer to the middle of the standings.

Meanwhile, Samir Lagsir and Tristan Gooijer are out with injuries.

Predicted lineup: Schendelaar (GK), Floranus, Graves, MacNulty, Van der Haar, Van den Berg, El Azzouzi, Namli, Monteiro, Mbayo & Vente
