Fortuna Sittard - FC Groningen predictions

Fortuna Sittard are not exactly firm favourites to register three points in this game but we still believe they will manage to defeat FC Groningen. The odds of 2.28 might sound a bit risky but we still trust hosts can come out on top in the end.

FC Groningen is known for their determination and we expect them to give their all in pursuit of a win in this match.

Apoint is never as interesting as a punter would want it to be but Fortuna Sittard will surely have been pleased with a Willem II draw from the previous trip in the Eredivisie. They return home for the Saturday clash feeling good about themselves after going level throughout both terms.

FC Groningen fans are hoping for a better performance than what they displayed at their home stadium in the previous round. Playing against FC Utrecht, they spent most of the match behind and ultimately lost it 0:1.

After recording more than 5 concessions in the previous 3 home games alone, confidence in Fortuna Sittard and their ability to bank on home-field advantage is shaky.

The away team’s previous three away games left a lot to be desired when it comes to how they perform defensively. Over 5 conceded goals in just 3 matches is never a good look, even if you’re playing as visitors.

The hosts are coming into this match as number 11th in the standings. Wrestling away 3 points in this game will not be easy, but it would get them closer to a Europa League qualification.

Thankfully, FC Groningen will be able to bring out their roster in full force, with no players forced to the sidelines due to injury or suspension. They’re still considered underdogs, mind you, but it’s something to consider.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet combines the best of both worlds: it’s a fairly safe bet with a high probability of success, but it also offers decent betting value. You can place it on the Pncl priced at 1.82 odds.
