FC Volendam looks to take revenge against FC Groningen at home after losing in Breda. The match kicks off at 14:30 at the Kras Stadion. Tickets are still available online. FC Volendam and FC Groningen have met 60 times before. The previous match took place on December 13 in De Euroborg. After an early red card from Mawouna Amevor, FC Groningen took advantage of the numerical superiority and won 3-0. FC Groningen currently occupies the ninth place on the VriendenLoterij Eredivisie table. The Trots van het Noorden is not in the best shape; the team lost its last five matches.

FC Groningen has collected 31 points this season from 24 matches: nine wins, four draws, and 11 losses. FC Groningen scored 31 goals this season. This is partly due to Brynjólfur Willumsson, team captain Stije Resink, and Younes Taha. Willumsson scored six goals. Resink scored four times and provided five assists. Taha can match the same numbers as the Groningen captain. Thom van Bergen also contributes with four goals and three assists.
