Fortuna Sittard - FC Groningen betting tips and odds

Fortuna Sittard are expected to win here, but we can’t call such betting predictions completely foolproof. FC Groningen may surprise us yet, and even a tie game seems a decent possibility from where we’re standing.

The visitors are conscious of the challenge before them. To come out on top against Fortuna Sittard on their home field would be a noteworthy accomplishment, and it is never an easy task.

Fortuna Sittard conceded early and never quite managed to get back into the game last time out in the Eredivisie. It was an away match they were never going to win, if 2.80 betting odds were to be believed, so a narrow loss might even be something their fans should not be too disappointed with.

In the previous round of Eredivisie, FC Groningen welcomed SC Heerenveen at their home stadium – and it didn’t end well for them. They were behind at half-time, and things only got worse from there, resulting in a 0:2 home loss.

Fortuna Sittard have been struggling to keep the ball out of their net lately. For instance, their previous 3 Eredivisie matches were marked by more than 5 goals conceded in total.

Our confidence that FC Groningen will manage to hold their composure in an away game is shaky. They have over 5 concessions on record in their latest 3 visiting games alone.

The two teams already met this season in the Eredivisie, with Fortuna Sittard taking the victory. It’s understandable why most bookies consider them the favourites, though the advantage is not overwhelming.

Fortunately, both teams will be able to give their all this Sunday. Neither squad has been affected by injuries or suspensions, allowing the coaches to work with all the tools at their disposal.

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 1.83, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
