Preview and betting tips for – PSV vs Groningen – 16.08.2015
PSV and Groningen will be face to face Sunday from 11:30 and the home side is clearly in pole-position, both on the papers and at the bookmakers, with odds around 1.30 for a victory.
PSV are coming after a dissapointing result against ADO Den Haag in the first round, 2-2 after they were equalized in the 90+5th minute by the Den Haag’s keeper. That was their second competitive game of this season, after the Dutch Super Cup. To be more precise, PSV won the first trophy of this season, 3-0 vs Groningen and that’s why we don’t see them having too many problems at this game.
Groningen are hungry for revenge, but they are much inferior from almost every point of view right now. After they lost the Dutch Super Cup, the guests started with a draw in the new edition of Eredivisie, 1-1 vs FC Twente at home. Groningen finished on the 8th place last campaign in Netherlands, being the first one behind the play-off positions. They won only a point against PSV last season, 1-1 at home and 1-2 here.
PSV vs Groningen probable lineups:
PSV (4-3-3): Zoet – Arias, Mirin, Bruma, Poulsen – Propper, Guardado, Maher – Narsingh, Jong, Locadia.
Groningen (4-2-3-1): Padt – Hateboer, Laan, Lindgren, Tamata – Tibbling, Hiariej – Antonia, Rusnak, Linssen – Leeuw.
PSV vs Groningen prediction: PSV -1.0 AH @ 1.38
We expect PSV to confirm their superiority against Groningen once again after the hosts won the Dutch Super Cup, 3-0 against them just two weeks ago.
