After the opening nine gameweeks, FC Groningen find themselves in the bottom three on seven points after winning just once, that came on matchday one, and securing four draws. Danny Buijs' side are currently on a eight-game winless streak, which includes four losses. Since the beginning of 2021, they've played 13 league games at home, though Groningen have picked up three wins, the most recent coming in February. Since then De Trots van het Noorden put together an eight-game winless streak. Following a lethargic start, where they suffered four defeats across their opening five league games, AZ have swiftly bounced back by registering three consecutive Eredivisie wins, subsequently scoring 13 goals while conceding just twice. Of those aforementioned four defeats this season, three have come on the road, and in their five away games this season, AZ have failed to keep a clean sheet. 1:3
