Groningen maintain a narrow advantage in their head-to-head history with Breda, recording 33 wins from 92 clashes, whereas NAC triumphed in 29 and the other 30 games finished all square.
NAC Breda team overview
After earning a well-deserved 2-2 draw on their difficult visit to Twente and securing a tight 2-1 win against Heracles, the Yellow-Blacks produced a spirited display in Amsterdam, but it wasn’t enough to prevent a 2-1 setback to Ajax.
It was the fourth time this season that NAC Breda left the pitch with heads down, and a skinny haul of seven points from as many matches has left them in an uncomfortable 15th place, just one point above Heracles, who sit first below the danger line.
Since both of their wins this season have come at their Rat Verlegh home, Carl Hoefkens’ troops will be leaning on home comfort in search of the much-needed points to keep them out of the bottom three, though their attacking efficiency will need to improve, as they currently rank among the league’s lowest scorers.
Young striker Moussa Soumano is yet to make his season debut, while Australian midfielder Maximilien Balard will miss Friday’s Eredivisie clash after being sent off in his team’s 2-1 loss to Ajax last round.

Groningen team overview
Meanwhile, Groningen can be fairly satisfied with their performances in the opening weeks of the Dutch top flight, having registered four wins and suffered three losses so far, enough to place them in the European zone in sixth.
De FC’s three defeats this season have all come against Dutch giants like AZ and PSV, with the latest coming in a tightly contested clash against current leaders Feyenoord, falling by the narrowest of margins and bringing an end to their impressive three-game winning streak.
After conceding a troubling nine goals in their first three league games, Groningen’s backline has displayed a renewed sense of discipline, with last week’s 1-0 defeat to Rotterdam being the first time in four matches that they let in a goal.
Unlike his Friday counterpart, Dick Lukkien faces a much longer list of unavailable players, including 19-year-old midfielder Tygo Land, who must serve a one-match suspension after picking up two yellow cards and a send off last week.

Prediction
What doesn’t work in favor of the Green-Whites is that they haven’t won at Rat Verlegh Stadion in a full ten years – losing twice and drawing twice since – but Groningen can now rightfully imagine their chances of ending that winless run. Although NAC Breda have shown more fight and competitiveness recently, they still look unconvincing to back against a Groningen side that has impressed with their recent results, defensive solidity, and organization, which practically points to the visitors being closer to taking all three points.
Three Reasons we expect X2 (Double Chance)
- NAC Breda have suffered defeat in three of their last five Eredivisie outings.
- Groningen have won three of their previous four top-flight matches.
- Groningen’s backline has remained unbreached in all but one of their last four games.
