Kees van Wonderen: We’re all aware of our position in the table

Groningen coach calls for calm despite relegation battle

Groningen coach Kees van Wonderen has called for calm despite his side's precarious position in the Eredivisie table.

The Green-White Army are currently 16th in the standings, just one point above the relegation play-off spot.

Van Wonderen's men have not won in their last five league games, and they face a tough test on Sunday when they travel to face PSV Eindhoven.

Van Wonderen: We need to stay focused

"We're all aware of our position in the table," said Van Wonderen.

"But we need to stay focused and keep believing in ourselves.

"We have a tough game against PSV on Sunday, but we're confident that we can get a result."

Groningen's recent form

• Lost 3-1 to FC Utrecht
• Drew 1-1 with Heracles Almelo
• Lost 2-0 to Vitesse
• Lost 1-0 to PEC Zwolle
• Drew 2-2 with Sparta Rotterdam

Groningen's next five fixtures

• PSV Eindhoven (A)
• FC Emmen (H)
• FC Utrecht (A)
• Willem II (H)

Van Wonderen will be hoping that his team can pick up some points in their upcoming fixtures and avoid being dragged into a relegation battle.
