Looking at previous games, PSV Eindhoven is in good form, having won their last 5 games. FC Groningen's form is mixed with 2 wins and 3 losses in their last 5 games.
PSV's next game is away against NEC Nijmegen on 2025-09-13. NEC Nijmegen's recent form is strong, with 4 wins in their last 5 games.

Historically, PSV has frequently dominated against FC Groningen, often securing decisive victories. The current result continues this trend, showcasing PSV's consistent strength in the Dutch Eredivisie against FC Groningen. The win strengthens PSV's position early in the season, while FC Groningen will need to improve their defensive solidity to compete effectively in upcoming fixtures.
On August 23, 2025, PSV Eindhoven will host FC Groningen at the Philips Stadion in a Dutch Eredivisie clash. AI is predicting a PSV Eindhoven victory, with a 70.6% win probability compared to FC Groningen's mere 12.0%. The draw probability stands at 17.5%.
PSV's strong form, evidenced by their recent winning streak including a dominant 6-1 victory over Sparta Rotterdam, further supports this prediction. Their key players, including rising star midfielder, Johan Bakayoko, known for his dribbling and vision, and veteran striker Luuk de Jong, a proven goalscorer, are expected to lead the charge. The last games shows PSV winning all the last 5 games.
FC Groningen, on the other hand, have struggled for consistency, with a recent 4-1 defeat against AZ Alkmaar highlighting their defensive frailties. Their last 5 games show only 1 win and 2 draws, while the other 2 games resulted in loss.
The AI model considers PSV's home advantage, superior team rating (0.779 vs 0.394), and past head-to-head results, where PSV has often dominated. Considering all factors, an upset seems unlikely. The algorithm suggests a comfortable win for the Eindhoven side.
