Groningen vs Fortuna Sittard Predictions

An entertaining cup clash seems likely, with goals at both ends on the cards.

I'm taking BTTS as my primary selection, while I also like Groningen's chances of claiming victory against their Eredivisie opponents.

Groningen have won their last 5 home matches
Groningen have seen BTTS in 4 of their last 5 home matches
Fortuna Sittard have seen BTTS in 4 of their last 6 matches against Groningen
Fortuna Sittard have lost 11 of their last 15 away matches

Head to Head

Thursday's Dutch Cup clash is the 20th contest between these sides since 1995. Groningen holds the H2H advantage with 11 wins to Fortuna Sittard's five. Fortuna claimed the spoils in their three most recent league contests over the past two years.

Groningen Form

Despite Groningen's recent 1-0 defeat at Dordrecht in their last league fixture on Friday, the hosts have been enjoying a positive run, with seven wins collected in their previous nine matches.

Placed sixth in the Eerste Divisie, the Trots van het Noorden are just five points short of the promotion playoff spots.

On their own patch at Euroborg, Groningen have enjoyed a superb run of five successive league victories. Thursday's hosts have managed to score at least two goals in each of their last six home games. Five of those matches also saw both teams scoring.

Head coach Lukkien has the luxury of a fully fit squad to choose from for Thursday's KNVB Beker contest.

Rue Mendes could be recalled to the starting lineup, while Romano Postema and Thom van Bergen will continue to lead the Groningen attack.

Fortuna Sittard Form

Fortuna come into Thursday's cup clash having shown some good form since the turn of the year. The visitors remain undefeated in their last four Eredivisie matches and now sit tenth in the division, just two points shy of the European playoff positions.

While Fortuna have enjoyed a strong start to 2024, the visitors have struggled on their travels this season. Although they secured a rare 1-0 victory at Volendam ten days ago, Danny Buijs's boys had previously failed to win any of their last 14 away matches in the Eredivisie.

Fortuna Sittard Team News

Fortuna boss Buijs has no fresh injury concerns following the Fortunezen's exciting draw against Heerenveen last weekend.

Deroy Duarte may be available for selection again after returning from AFCON duty with Cape Verde.

Verdict

FC Groningen v Fortuna Sittard

Goals should be on the cards in a likely lively cup clash at the Euroborg.

BTTS is my top choice, while I also fancy a punt on Groningen scoring a cup-set victory.
