FC Groningen are coming into this match as underdogs, though the difference is not overwhelming. Even so, they’re not all that likely to win. An Away Win bet is priced at 3.20 with top online bookies, which could bring a decent profit.

PEC Zwolle will be all smiles heading into the Sunday clash following their SC Cambuur triumph. It ended up being a much easier game than what the away win betting odds suggested (ODDS_AWAY_WIN_LAST_ROUND) and there is no doubt such a resounding victory will be a huge boost for the hosts.

FC Groningen mildly embarrassed themselves on their home turf in the previous round. They suffered a 0:1 defeat at the hands of Fortuna Sittard – a weaker team relatively speaking – and their confidence must have taken a hit.

The hosts have been careful not to let their goalscoring stats slip. They’ve scored more than 5 times during the last 3 matches, indicating consistent offensive results.

At this point, the clash between these two teams is notorious for producing inconclusive results. They already have several tied matches on record in this season alone, which is ultimately worse for the home team who are considered favourites.

The hosts may be favourites to win the match, but their lineup is in a somewhat weakened state. Kenneth Paal, Sam Kersten, Samir Lagsir, Max de Waal are all sidelined due to injury, which makes PEC Zwolle’s position as favourites a bit shakier than it might seem.

And Under 2.5 Goals is the perfect wager for this fixture. A quick glance at these teams’ statistics will tell you all you need to know about their concession rates, which is why it’s a fairly safe bet, generally priced at around 1.89.
