FC Groningen - RKC Waalwijk betting tips and odds

FC Groningen are definitely more likely to win, though all three possible results are quite reasonable to expect. This makes it hard to make reliable betting predictions when this match is concerned, though we may find some betting value.

Out of their home field and heading into this match as underdogs, RKC Waalwijk would need to play their best to have a hope of winning. That said, even a draw would be a positive outcome, and all three results are quite possible.

A AZ Alkmaar defeat from the last round is nothing FC Groningen should be proud of. They fell behind in the first half and went from bad to worse before the final whistle. Their Friday clash is a chance to recover from this bad HT/FT beating.

RKC Waalwijk had their work cut out for them as they entered the previous game. The 3.55 odds were somewhat favourable, but most of the advantage can be chalked up to the fact that they were playing at home. The two teams ended up in a deadlock for most of the runtime, and the match ended with a 2:2 draw.

FC Groningen have been struggling to keep the ball out of their net lately. For instance, their previous 3 Eredivisie matches were marked by more than 5 goals conceded in total.

The visiting team are doing rather well offensively – at least as far as their latest 3 matches can tell us. They’ve scored more than 5 times in total over the course of these games.

Taking a quick at the recent history of these two teams and their clashes, the line between favourites and underdogs becomes a bit blurred. FC Groningen lost one of these games last season with a painfully large goal difference, yet they’re widely regarded as the favourites to win the match on Friday.

The hosts may be favourites to win the match, but their lineup is in a somewhat weakened state. Jan Hoekstra, Yahya Kalley, Daleho Irandust, P. Abraham are all sidelined due to injury, which makes FC Groningen’s position as favourites a bit shakier than it might seem.

Despite being seen as underdogs by most online bookmakers, the visiting team will be able to give their all this Friday. They have no reported injuries or suspensions going in, so at least they’ll be able to rely on their best players and strategies.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1.77 if you use the Betsson sportsbook.
