Confidence

Both GO Ahead Eagles and Groningen have found the net in all five of their league games this season, while neither side has managed to keep a clean sheet. GO Ahead Eagles average 2.8 goals scored and 2.4 conceded per match, with attacking threats S. Tengstedt and V. Edvardsen contributing seven goals combined.
