On the last day of winter, Feyenoord will compete against Groningen in the semi-final stage of the KNVB Cup. The match will take place at the "De Kuip" arena in Rotterdam. Here's the prediction for this encounter from Dailysports experts.
Feyenoord
Under the guidance of Arne Slot, Feyenoord put up a spirited fight against AS Roma in the UEFA Europa League, narrowly succumbing in the penalty shootout. With their European campaign concluded, Feyenoord can now focus on domestic competitions. However, their situation in the league is not favorable, trailing league leaders PSV by ten points. It appears that their best chance to clinch silverware lies in winning the KNVB Cup. Heading into the match against Groningen, Feyenoord arrives on the back of a 2-0 away victory over Almere City in the Eredivisie. This win marked their fourth consecutive victory in the league. At home, Feyenoord has bounced back from setbacks against Nijmegen and Twente, securing victories against Sparta Rotterdam and VVV-Venlo. In the KNVB Cup, Arne Slot's side has overcome Utrecht, PSV, and AZ Alkmaar.
Groningen
Having suffered relegation last season, Groningen finds themselves in the sixth position in the Eredivisie table with 45 points, preparing for the playoffs. In their recent league match, Dick Lukkien's side played out a goalless draw against Helmond Sport at home, following victories over FC Eindhoven and TOP Oss. In the KNVB Cup, the "Pride of the North" has defeated opponents such as Willem II, Excelsior, and Fortuna Sittard. Notably, their victory over Fortuna Sittard was secured in a penalty shootout. It's worth mentioning that Groningen has managed only five wins in twelve away matches, with an equal number of defeats.
Interesting facts and head-to-head history
In the previous season, these teams clashed twice in the top division. Feyenoord secured a 3-0 victory away from home and a narrow 1-0 win at their own turf.
Before that, three consecutive matches between these sides ended in draws.
Feyenoord vs Groningen Prediction
Groningen has been fortunate with their opponents in the previous stages. I'm confident that the "White and Green Army" would have encountered difficulties even against Utrecht, let alone PSV or AZ. Feyenoord boasts a solid defense, conceding very few goals. Therefore, our prediction is "Groningen will not score" with odds of 1.67.
