Why it matters

Groningen take a first point of the season and sit 15th after three games: no wins, one draw, two losses, five scored and 10 conceded. Twente are sixth on four points from two matches, still in the Conference League play-off band, but they left seven big chances on the floor. One more finish and this is a different table.
