Go Ahead Eagles - FC Groningen predictions

We don’t expect Go Ahead Eagles to have any issues beating FC Groningen. The hosts are largely favoured by all the top bookmakers online and 1.62 might actually be a good-value bet to consider. The visitors are not to be underestimated but on this particular instance the home side are seen as clear winners.

The current perspective makes the situation straightforward. Given the superiority of Go Ahead Eagles and the 6.03 odds given to FC Groningen to win, it is evident that a victory for the visiting team would be a shocking surprise.

Go Ahead Eagles performed well above expectations in the previous round at Fortuna Sittard . They secured a convincing 0:3 victory against stiff opposition – they were even leading on half-time.

FC Groningen are here on the back of rather poor performance in their previous Eredivisie game. The odds seemed stacked in their favour with both home-field advantage and 4.46 betting odds for their victory. Despite all of this, however, the game ended up being a protracted stalemate, ending in an HT/FT 0:0 draw.

Go Ahead Eagles have a notably poor defensive record when it comes to playing as visitors. We’re mostly referring to the 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 away games. They are playing as hosts this time around, but you should be aware before you put down any money.

FC Groningen’s recent performance as visitors has been marked by a lot of conceded goals – 7 in their previous 3 away games.

This is the second time we’re seeing these two sides clash this season. The first game went Go Ahead Eagles’s way, albeit with a difference of only one goal. Still, such a record makes it easy to see why they’re the favourites this time around.

The hosts may be favourites to win the match, but their lineup is in a somewhat weakened state. Finn Stokkers, Calvin Twigt, Aske Adelgaard are all sidelined due to injury, which makes Go Ahead Eagles’s position as favourites a bit shakier than it might seem.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 1.67 at Betway.
