PSV Eindhoven vs Groningen Prediction and Betting Tips | November 23rd 2024
PSV Eindhoven will host Groningen at the Philips Stadion on Saturday in another round of the 2024-25 Eredivisie campaign. The home side have enjoyed yet another brilliant start to their league campaign and now sit atop the table with 33 points from 12 matches as they continue their push for a successful title defense.
They beat NAC Breda 3-0 in their last match with Ricardo Pepi and Ismael Saibari getting on the scoresheet to hand the champions a two-goal lead heading into the break before Johan Bakayoko wrapped up the points midway through the second half.
Groningen, meanwhile, have had a difficult time upon returning to the top flight, although they remain hopeful of avoiding the drop. They returned to winning ways in the league before the international break, beating Sparta Rotterdam 1-0 on home turf via a first-half strike from Romano Postema, who scored his first Eredivisie goal since May 2022.
The visitors sit 13th in the league standings with 12 points from 12 matches and will be looking to add to that tally come Saturday.
