FC Groningen host Excelsior at Euroborg, Groningen on Saturday, May 2 at 6:45 PM in the Eredivisie.
FC Groningen come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). Excelsior travel out of form (1W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
History strongly favours FC Groningen here — they've won 7 of 10 previous meetings against Excelsior, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Excelsior won 0–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.8 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives FC Groningen a slight edge, but Excelsior are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
