Den Haag opened the Eredivisie season with a 0-2 defeat at AZ Alkmaar and have scored in only 3 of their last 5 outings across all competitions. Their sole competitive clean sheet in that stretch came in a loss. Groningen, by contrast, won their opener 2-1 against Utrecht and arrive with two absentees - Malcolm Jeng and Stije Resink - but with genuine momentum. No head-to-head data exists for this fixture, so form is the only guide.
Den Haag have conceded in 2 of their last 5 matches and kept 3 clean sheets, yet their attacking output in competitive play is thin. Groningen conceded in all 3 of their last 5 games but also scored in 3, showing a willingness to trade blows. Over 2.5 goals landed in 3 of 5 for both sides, and the market prices BTTS YES at 1.50-1.55, which looks efficient rather than generous.
Groningen Draw No Bet at 1.78-1.80 is the call. They arrive as winners, Den Haag as losers, and the hosts carry a blunt attack. The insurance of the draw refund makes the price workable at this stage of the season.
