NEC - FC Groningen betting tips and odds

With the odds slightly in the hosts’ favour, they have a decent shot at walking away with 3 points. Still, FC Groningen can pull off both a win or a draw, so the hosts can’t afford to let their guard down.

The visitors are well-aware of the task ahead. Beating NEC is difficult under any circumstances and doing it on their own turf would be an even bigger achievement for FC Groningen.

There is no denying that NEC put on quite a show in their previous Eredivisie outing. They were given the odds of 2.60 to claim an away win against a strong side and they fully delivered. The Friday hosts were level at halftime and ended up claiming a rather surprisingly convincing FC Volendam in the end.

The latest 1:0 home win by FC Groningen was quite predictable – it went down the way most betting predictions said it would. They secured an early lead against Go Ahead Eagles and carried it all the way to the final 1:0 result.

The away team’s defensive record is slipping. They’ve conceded more than 5 times in their previous 3 Eredivisie engagements. This, at least, points to this match as a decent choice for something like an Over 5 Goals bet.

The two teams last met in the previous season when NEC won the clash with a convincing goal difference. Their fans are expecting another clear-cut triumph and the bookmakers tend to agree.

Though the odds are against the visitors, at least they’ll be in a position to put up as much of a fight as possible. All of their lineup is accounted for in this match, with no issues from suspensions or injuries.

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 1.70, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
