NAC Breda vs Groningen Prediction Eredivisie
NAC Breda vs Groningen Prediction and Betting Tips for Matchday 8 of the Eredivisie, set for Friday at the Rat Verlegh Stadion. Both sides come off recent defeats, with NAC losing narrowly to Ajax and Groningen falling to Feyenoord. In this article, you’ll discover Eredivisie Predictions from XpertStats tipsters.
- NAC Breda have failed to keep a clean sheet in all seven Eredivisie games this season.
- Groningen average 4 goals per game, with 67% of their matches ending over 3.5 goals.
- Both teams have a 67% BTTS (Both Teams to Score) rate this season.
- NAC Breda are unbeaten in their last two home games but have struggled away with just one point in four matches.
NAC Breda have been a mixed bag this season, scoring 1.33 goals per game while conceding just as often. They’ve gone without a clean sheet in every match so far, and their defensive fragility could prove costly against Groningen’s attack. Yet at home, Breda have found a bit of rhythm, picking up six points from nine. Sydney van Hooijdonk has been a bright spark, scoring in consecutive games, and will look to continue that run. Still, losing Max Balard to suspension could disrupt the defensive structure.
Groningen come into this clash in search of their first win in Breda since 2015. They’ve scored nine goals in their last five fixtures but conceded five, and their games often see plenty of action. Groningen have the league’s highest average goals per match at 4. That suggests this Friday’s meeting could be a goal-fest. Injuries to key attackers like Marco Rente and Brynjolfur Darri Willumsson may hamper them, but Younes Taha’s creativity and goal threat could fill the gap.
Historically, NAC have been tricky opponents at home, but Groningen’s attacking style and willingness to press could tilt the balance. Both teams share a similar fouls average, around 23 per match, indicating a combative encounter. That suggests a high-tempo, physical clash where fouls and set pieces could decide the outcome. Groningen have also been in good form, winning three of their last five and proving they can bounce back from setbacks.
Friday’s clash offers a mix of narratives: NAC Breda’s desire to strengthen home form versus Groningen’s hunger to break a decade-long away drought. Expect open play and plenty of fouls. With both sides scoring in two-thirds of their matches this season, goals look likely. That makes this fixture an intriguing contest to watch and a perfect setup for bold bettors. Overall, our Eredivisie Predictions point to an energetic, high-stakes encounter that could go either way.

Groningen’s style of play this season has been aggressive and high-paced, with an average of 13 fouls committed per game. Combined with NAC Breda’s physical approach, which results in an average of 8.33 fouls committed per match, we can expect a high-foul affair. Both teams average more than 23 fouls per match collectively, suggesting frequent stoppages and a combative battle at Rat Verlegh Stadion. Groningen in particular have shown a tendency to commit fouls under pressure, especially away from home. In their recent fixtures, fouls have risen sharply in games against stronger opposition, as Groningen look to disrupt play. Given NAC Breda’s home advantage and Groningen’s defensive challenges due to injuries, fouls will be part of Groningen’s strategy to break rhythm and frustrate the opposition. This match is shaping up to surpass 10.5 fouls for Groningen with little doubt.
