Groningen come into this match following a defeat to PSV on August 23, looking to bounce back with a stronger performance. Tightening up at the back might be their best chance to shift momentum, especially given the fact they've had trouble holding their opponents at bay, with goals conceded across five consecutive matches.

Heracles Almelo's form has been disappointing in the same manner, approaching this match after three consecutive defeats to Ajax, NEC and Utrecht. Their inability to keep a clean sheet has been evident, as they have been conceding goals for fourteen consecutive matches now.

Groningen and Heracles Almelo meet in Eredivisie with their goal-scorers and playmakers ready to take on pivotal roles.

With three goals in Eredivisie, Willumsson is Groningen’s top scorer in the league, while Rente remains their top assist provider in the competition with two. Younes Taha, Stije Resink and Mats Seuntjens have made their presence felt as well, chipping in with decisive contributions in attack.
