Groningen vs Utrecht: the head-to-head
Since 2015, Groningen and Utrecht have traded 20 encounters, a record that showcases a finely balanced rivalry. Utrecht edges Groningen with nine victories to Groningen’s five, while six matches finish level. The aggregate tally of 52 goals yields an average of 2.6 per game, reflecting a moderately high-scoring affair. In 70% of the meetings two or more goals were scored, and 55% saw three or more, while 65% of the games featured both sides finding the net. The most recent clash on 9 August 2026 ended 2-1 in favour of Groningen, a result that tipped the overall goal balance to 24 for Groningen and 28 for Utrecht.

The next encounter is scheduled for 14 March 2027.
