Groningen go head-to-head with RKC in the Eredivisie of Netherlands on May 3. Kickoff is scheduled for 18:00 UTC.
All eyes turn to the pitch as the upcoming encounter sees Groningen and RKC renew their battle, 9 months after their previous Eredivisie meeting which Groningen won 1-2. Groningen come into this match fresh off a victory over Heracles Almelo in Eredivisie on April 23. Despite their win, they've had trouble holding their opponents at bay, conceding goals in their last six matches in a row.
RKC's current performances, compared to their opponent's recent win, leave more to be desired, as they prepare for this match after two straight losses to Utrecht and NEC, marking eight games without a single win. Their defense has shown cracks, with goals conceded across ten consecutive away matches.
This Eredivisie match offers a platform for Groningen and RKC’s goal-scorers to step up and leave their mark on the contest. Groningen’s attacking options, shaped by Dick Lukkien’s vision, have been bolstered by Luciano Valente and Leandro Bacuna, both of whom have contributed crucial goals and assists. Groningen’s top scorer in Eredivisie, Schreuders, has five goals this season, with Valente leading their creative tally in the league with five assists. Groningen’s offense has also been strengthened by Thom Van Bergen, Brynjolfur Andersen Willumsson and Stije Resink, who have provided crucial contributions in the final third.
Meanwhile, RKC’s Richonell Margaret and top finisher Oskar Zawada have played important roles in ensuring their attack, under Henk Fraser’s guidance, remains effective. Zawada leads RKC’s scoring charts in Eredivisie this season with nine goals, as Margaret continues to lead their creative efforts in the tournament with six assists. Adding further support are Yassin Oukili, Mohamed Ihattaren and Richard van der Venne, who have combined to deliver key goals and assists for the team.
