Editorial Prediction
Both teams still have a shot at making it into the top nine, which adds an element of intrigue to the final round. However, Groningen's attack looks limited on the road-they've scored fewer than 1.5 goals in 14 of their last 15 away matches. A similar trend is evident in their head-to-head games with Zwolle: Groningen has failed to score more than once in six consecutive encounters against them. Considering the visitors' attacking form and the nature of this rivalry, betting on Groningen's individual total under 1.5 goals seems reasonable.
