FC Groningen - FC Twente predictions

Though FC Groningen definitely have a shot at winning this match, they’ll need to work for it. FC Twente are somewhat stronger, but the home-field advantage may be what the hosts need to shift the balance in their favour.

FC Twente will need to bring their top form if they want 3 points from this matchup – and they do. FC Groningen are not easy pickings, although the visitors are widely seen as close favourites.

The hosts won their previous Eredivisie engagement on the back of a small but solid lead from the first half. Of course, top bookmakers online saw their victory coming despite the home-field disadvantage, but points in an away game are still quite valuable.

FC Twente stumbled and dropped a first-half lead in their previous home game against Ajax. The 2:3 loss was a narrow one, even though they were considered slightly stronger by most experts going in.

We’ve seen some excellent performances from FC Groningen lately. They currently have a solid string of 3 victories as visitors and there is no doubt they will be quite confident heading into a home game this Sunday.

FC Twente’s recent track record shows a very concerning amount of concessions – 7 of them in their previous 3 matches, to be exact. While it’s obvious their defence has a lot of problems, Over markets might be a good option for this match.

FC Groningen’s performance in the Eredivisie so far has been far from ideal. Their current 5th spot is nothing to write home about, though it’s still too early in the season to make any hard judgments. Moving upward will be no easy task, however, and European football seems like a dream too big at the moment.

Should they manage to earn 5 more points, the visitors will claw their way to a Europa League qualifying spot. They still have a lot of time to do so, but a team like FC Groningen stands a decent chance to win this Sunday.

Although they won’t have the support of their home-field fans, FC Twente are still more likely to come out on top in this matchup. They last clashed with FC Groningen last season and walked away with a solid victory and more than 2 goals ahead at the end.

Due to the absence of injuries or suspensions, both teams will have their complete lineups available for an exciting match.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 1.86, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
