FC Groningen - FC Emmen betting tips and odds

FC Groningen are not exactly firm favourites to register three points in this game but we still believe they will manage to defeat FC Emmen. The odds of 2.42 might sound a bit risky but we still trust hosts can come out on top in the end.

The task ahead is well-known to the visiting team. Defeating FC Groningen on their own field would be a major accomplishment, and doing so is always challenging.

FC Groningen’s painful defeat in their previous away match could have been seen from a mile away. They were facing PSV as visitors, so betting predictions never gave them much of a shot. The home team took an early lead which culminated in a 6:0 loss for FC Groningen.

FC Emmen are coming off of a disappointing 0:1 loss in the previous round. The first half of that match was one long stalemate, but their opponents Fortuna Sittard broke the tie later on.

With more than 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 fixtures, FC Groningen’s performance leaves something to be desired. That said, savvy punters could be able to exploit this – think BTTS or Over 5 Goals markets, for example.

Based on their recent performance, FC Emmen’s largest issue seems to be defence, especially in away games. With 7 conceded goals in their 3 previous visiting matches, Over 3.5 Goals markets seem like a solid betting option.

We see several draws on record between these two teams in the past season alone. FC Groningen may be the favourites, but it’s becoming very clear that they can’t easily beat FC Emmen.

There’s an interesting development over at Sportpark Lonerstraat. It seems both teams have been struck hard by injuries. On one hand, Laros Duarte, P. Abraham, Nordin Musampa, Luciano Valente, Mads Bech Sørensen will not be playing for the hosts. Conversely, Jeff Hardeveld, Jeroen Veldmate, Lorenzo Burnet, Rui-Jorge Mendes, Mart Lieder, Maikel Kieftenbeld, Météhan Guclu, Oussama Darfalou will all be unavailable on the away side. Both teams will have to deal with limited options.

Though a Home Win bet is the best offer in terms of value, the outcome is far from guaranteed. Though there’s a moderate risk involved, the 2.42 odds offered at Betsson are worth it.
