FC Groningen loses second game in a row against PSV. The team of coach Dick Lukkien lost last Saturday with 2-0 to Sparta. It's the first time since the beginning of last season that FC Groningen lost two games in a row.

What happened?

FC Groningen won only four of the ten home games. The last home win was on December 13 against FC Volendam (3-0). The team of Lukkien has trouble against teams from the top of the league: only on a visit to Fortuna Sittard (9th) was Groningen able to win.

How does the coach react?

Coach Dick Lukkien wants to see courage from his players. 'If you only stand on your own half against PSV, you will eventually be overrun.' Lukkien wants to see a nice combination of playing with courage, daring to play football and at the same time removing naivety.

The form of PSV

PSV is on its way to its third consecutive national title. The Eindhoven team has lost points only three times this season. Telstar was surprisingly strong in September with a 2-0 win in the Philips Stadium.
