Feyenoord - Groningen predictions and free betting tips [29/02/2024]

Hello there! We're kicking off a series of forecasts with the Dutch Cup football, where the second semi-final will take place. Now the main favourite for the country's secondary title, Feyenoord club, will play against Groningen, currently in the 1st division, although just last season the team from the same-named city in the north of the Netherlands played in the Eredivisie. 

Feyenoord

By dropping out of the 1/16 finals of the Europa League, Arne Slot's team has slightly relieved itself, but it's obviously better to be in the European tournament and expend more energy rather than save energy by not participating in Europe's second most important club competition. Everything is going great in the championship for Feyenoord; even if they can't catch up with PSV, the 2nd place should go to Slot's players, as long as they don't start failing in simple matches.

So far everything is wonderful as evidenced by the victory over Almere City in the last round, although if you look at this encounter from another angle, the result does not match the course of the fight itself as Feyenoord well executed their moments but lost in Xg, and that's with two balls being sent into the opponent's goal net. We make a note of Feyenoord's player’s psychological state after the penalty shootout failure with Italian Roma.

Groningen

Many expected that the "white-green army" would easily climb to 1st place in the Eerste Divisie table and just as easily return to the top division of the Netherlands. Everything is turning out differently, although it cannot be said that Groningen has problems. In the Eerste Divisie championship, Dick Lukkien's team is in 6th place and has a game in reserve, but it's important to understand that in this table, Groningen has not lost the opportunity to catch up with the two leaders, whose places send an express straight to Eredivisie without any playoff matches.

In the Dutch Cup, footballers managed to defeat two opponents from the top league - Willem II, who is in 1st place in the Eerste Divisie tournament table. Groningen, of course, has the motivation to do well in cup games, but it's one thing to outplay minor clubs from Eredivisie like Fortuna and Excelsior, and quite another thing to go to Feyenoord.

Match Forecast: Feyenoord - Groningen

The race for the finals, of course, motivates Feyenoord to easily beat a club from Eerste Divisie, so I'll bet on the handicap (-2.5), perhaps Groningen won't even manage to score.

Exact score forecast

The 3:0 option will likely suit Feyenoord, and for Groningen's loss, it won't be too disastrous in this match.
