FC Groningen - Fortuna Sittard predictions

With bookies pricing a home win at 1.95, it’s clear the match may yet go either way. The hosts have a distinct advantage, of course, but both a draw and an away win are quite possible outcomes.

The matchup this Sunday is rather one-sided, with Fortuna Sittard seen as the clear underdogs. Most bookmakers online have priced their victory at 3.96, which is enough to doubt such an outcome will happen.

A FC Twente draw was something FC Groningen can be happy with given the circumstances. They were never the favourites to claim three points from their last Eredivisie fixture and HT/FT Draw might be the fairest result in the end.

The away team entered their previous Eredivisie game with the pre-match betting odds sitting at an uncertain 3.10. They failed to break the tie before the second half but went on to win 1:0.

FC Groningen have managed to bag 6 goals in the last three showdowns, and the supporters at Sportpark Lonerstraat are expecting a lot of action this time around.

The most relevant bit of history we have for Fortuna Sittard is their high concession rate at recent home games. After more than 5 goals conceded in 3 games, their fans have warranted concerns over the squad’s defensive performance.

Despite the 1.95 price for a home win, the hosts lost their previous match against Fortuna Sittard. However, it’s important to keep in mind that they were the visitors in that bout.

The odds being what they are, remember that they were priced with various injuries in mind. The hosts reported that Dirk Baron, Brynjólfur Willumsson, Sven Bouland will have to sit this one out, while Fortuna Sittard will have to make do without Alen Halilović, Mitchell Dijks, Makan Aiko, Onur Demir, Shawn Adewoye, Ramazan Bayram, Daley Sinkgraven.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 2.05, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
