Eredivisie
Last season, ADO Den Haag dominated the second tier of Dutch football and won first place with relative ease, earning direct promotion to the elite. However, the return to the top began with a defeat in the away match against AZ Alkmaar, although ADO showed some good flashes. Now, the first home match of the season is coming up, with Groningen as the opponent.
Evenly matched clash with expectations of few goalsGroningen also competed in the lower echelon just a few years ago, but last season they even reached the playoffs for participation in European tournaments, although they ultimately fell short. The new campaign started with a home victory against Utrecht, but the team usually faces more difficulties in away matches. At this stage, the two teams seem relatively equal, although Groningen has a slight advantage due to their greater experience in the elite last season.
Prediction: Under 3.5 goalsADO Den Haag appears sufficiently motivated to earn their first points after returning to the elite, and I expect them to approach the match carefully in front of their home crowd. An interesting trend in their direct encounters is that seven of the last eight matches between these two teams have ended with under 2.5 goals, although they haven't had many opportunities to meet recently.
