Groningen take on the visitors Sparta Rotterdam at “Euroborg” in the round 18 of the Dutch Eredivisie. The game will be played on Sunday, December 24th.
In this season Groningen have been fighting in the bottom part of the table so far. At the moment the club is sitting on the 13th position in the elite division standings with 17 points taken after 17 rounds conducted. The side has lost eight clashes already and if it continues to perform like that, it will appear in the relegation zone very soon. Groningen look extremely weak at the home ground, having recorded 0:2 defeat from Feyenoord and spectacular 3:3 draw against PSV in the recent battles played in face of their fans.

Meanwhile, Sparta Rotterdam have not found their game till now. The team has failed nine times already, having conceded on average two goals per match. At this point the club from Rotterdam occupies the last place in the Dutch elite division table with only 11 points earned after 16 encounters conducted. Sparta also leave remarkably poor impressions on the road, having lost two latest away battles to Heracles 2:3 and PSV 0:1.
Groningen have managed to beat Sparta Rotterdam at the home pitch just two times in official clashes. At the moment both rivals stay in a quite suitable shape, however, in this season the upcoming visitors have not celebrated a single victory on the road yet, thus, Groningen have a full right to count for three points taken in the forthcoming fight.
Prediction for the match: Groningen to win.
