We said: Groningen 1-0 RKC Waalwijk

RKC are winless in their last eight league games, six of which ended in defeat, and they have the joint-worst away record in the top flight, with just seven points earned on the road this term. Groningen are entering this match off the back of a very impressive victory over Heracles last week, which took them to 26 points from 15 home games this season - the eighth-best record in the division - and we feel they will add another three points to their tally in this one.
