🎙 Reports suggest that a potential transfer of Stije Resink to Benfica has fallen through. On Monday, the Portuguese club's management contacted Groningen's director Frank van Mosselveld by phone, only to be met with a refusal to sell the player this winter. Benfica were furious with van Mosselveld's words and immediately withdrew from negotiations.
❌ The failed transfer seems to have affected not only the player's mental state but also his physical condition, as he picked up a minor injury ahead of the 22nd round of the Eredivisie. Additionally, Mats Seuntjens and Tika De Jong are sidelined with injuries. Meanwhile, two other players, Dis Janse and Marvin Peersman, will miss the game due to accumulated yellow cards.

⭐ Editorial Prediction
Groningen are striving for consistency after a series of setbacks, but their attacking prowess leaves much to be desired. Meanwhile, PSV are steamrolling through domestic competitions, averaging more than 3 goals per game. The head-to-head history between these clubs doesn't favor the hosts either: they've lost not only 12 of the last 13 encounters but also 5 out of 6 at home. Given these factors, a PSV victory seems almost certain.
