Sunday football in Eredivisie, FC Groningen hosts Heracles Almelo in the second round.
Groningen finished last season in unbelievable fashion … 9 wins and 1 draw in the last 10 matches, and the draw vs. Alkmaar allowed them to participate in Europa League. Unfortunately they blew it this season and lost against Aberdeen in the EL qualifications but recovered well and got a good 3-2 win vs. Go Ahead Eagles in the first Eredivisie round … good win on the road. Groningen is such a good team in Holland, always plays great attacking football and is underrated. They are one of the best Dutch teams when playing at home.

Heracles escaped relegation last year barely. As opposed to Groningen they finished the season with 1 point in the last 5 matches and started on the same note this season also … 0-3 home loss in the first round to Alkmaar in a very poor performance. Avoiding the drop is the only objective for Heracles this season for sure but I don’t know if they can pull it off; they can’t defend and don’t have any special weapons.
I love this Groningen team and at home they can beat anyone on their day. They bounced back after the Aberdeen loss with a great win and should get another today. Groningen is the better team, is very good at home, is in form and meets an opponent who played horrible in the first round. Groningen usually scores a lot and meets an opponent who is very bad defensively … so I’m sure not only will Groningen win … but also cover the handicap. Only thing going for Heracles is that they played better football away than at home last season; but is not enough. For this game Groningen misses 4 players, Heracles misses 5 players; injuries and suspensions are not set to make a difference in my opinion. My tip will be Groningen to win with -1 asian handicap … I see Heracles getting pounded today and the odds are super tasty at Sbobet. Correct score prediction: Groningen – Heracles 3-0.
