Groningen Sporting Braga betting prediction

After 1 draw and 4 losses, the home team is currently in the 4^th position, with 1 point won. In the last match, they have lost (2‑1) in an away match against Olympique Marseille, after in the previous round they have lost (0‑1) at home against Slovan Liberec. This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses in away matches; against 9 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses at their stadium. In their last match, for the Eredivisie, they got an away tie against Roda JC by (0‑0). In the last 10 home matches Groningen has won 7 and lost 3.

In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 5 matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded at least one goal in each of the last 5 matches for this competition. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 25 of the last 28 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals. They have conceded the first goal in 6 of their 11 matches, and have only turned the score around in 1.

Groningen is already eliminated of the competition and is just playing his part in the last match, anyway they should not stop trying to win this final match. We expect that the manager Erwin van de Looi plays in his usual 4-3-3 formation which tries to explore the flanks to make crosses into the striker and captain of the team, Michael De Leew. Lindgren and Dino Islamovic are injured and won't play this match.

Confirmed Lineup: Sergio Padt, Hans Hateboer, Abel Tamata, Johan Kappelhof, Etienne Reijnen, Kasper Larsen, Simon Tibbling, Hedwiges Maduro, Albert Rusnák, Danny Hoesen, Bryan Linssen.
Coach: D. Buijs.
