Groningen
Groningen operate as a balanced attacking unit with modest output (1.72 xG per match) but are defensively reasonably sound, conceding just 1.61 xG on average. Their recent run shows three wins in four settled fixtures, establishing some momentum in the Eredivisie. With no upcoming fixture in the current window, focus remains on their underlying profile: a team neither explosive nor vulnerable, but consistently measured. Bawler's model has backed their matches at 100% hit rate across four banker picks, suggesting strong predictive grip on their form trajectory.
How to read this: the green bar shows the average goals Groningen were expected to score per match (their xG output). The red bar shows what opponents are expected to score against them. The diamond on each bar marks the Netherlands: Eredivisie average — if the bar extends past the diamond, Groningen are above average there.
How to read this: the solid line is the goals Groningen actually scored each match. The dashed line is the goals the model expected them to score (xG). When the solid line is above the dashed, they overperformed — they finished better than the chances they created suggested. When it's below, they underperformed. Persistent underperformance often regresses; a one-off gap usually doesn't.
How to read this: each tile is one settled match, most recent first. Green = win, amber = draw, red = loss. Numbers show the actual scoreline from Groningen's perspective. Tap a tile to see Bawler's full prediction for that match.
