Groningen take on Heracles Almelo in the Eredivisie of Netherlands on August 29. The match is set to start at 18:00 UTC.
A sense of anticipation builds as Groningen and Heracles Almelo are set to clash again, 4 months after their previous Eredivisie encounter that concluded in a 4-1 victory for Groningen. Groningen come into this match fresh off a victory over Heerenveen in Eredivisie last Saturday. However, their streak comes with a caveat, their backline has lacked consistency, with goals conceded across four consecutive matches. Ahead of their clash with Heracles Almelo, Groningen must first take on PSV in Eredivisie, which will test their form and squad depth before facing Heracles Almelo.
Heracles Almelo's form, in comparison, has been disappointing, approaching this match after two consecutive defeats to NEC and Utrecht. They have a key fixture leading up to the match against Groningen though, taking on Ajax in Eredivisie, a fixture that is likely to influence their form and fitness ahead of their clash with Groningen. Their inability to keep a clean sheet has been evident, as they have been conceding goals for thirteen consecutive matches now.
Groningen and Heracles Almelo meet in Eredivisie with their goal-scorers and playmakers ready to take on pivotal roles. Groningen’s attacking options, under the tactical direction of Dick Lukkien, have been bolstered by Brynjolfur Andersen Willumsson, the team’s top scorer, and Marco Rente, both of whom have contributed crucial goals. With two goals in Eredivisie, Willumsson is Groningen’s top scorer in the league, while Taha remains their top assist provider in the competition with one. Stije Resink and Thom Van Bergen have made their presence felt as well, chipping in with decisive contributions in attack.
Meanwhile, Heracles Almelo’s offensive unit, shaped by Bas Sibum’s vision, has leaned on Jizz Hornkamp, their main scorer, and Sem Scheperman, as they continue to drive the team’s attacking efforts forward. Hornkamp has emerged as Heracles Almelo’s leading scorer in Eredivisie this season, netting one goal, while Scheperman has been their leading creator in the competition with one assist.
