FC Groningen - SC Heerenveen 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.

With the betting odds being what they are, this match could still go either way. Still, the fact that SC Heerenveen are generally the weaker team makes this match an uphill battle for them.

Most experts and fans predicted an easy victory for FC Groningen in the previous round against VVV-Venlo , and the team delivered albeit underwhelmingly. The 0:1 victory was as narrow as it could be, however, so their form is far from perfect.

SC Heerenveen’s 1:2 loss in their previous home game against Ajax was not surprising – top online bookmakers gave them 10.50 odds to win. The match remained a stalemate in the first half, but it was only a matter of time.

Though the 5 concessions over the past 3 away games for FC Groningen may not directly affect this particular match, such a history may be cause for concern for their supporters.

SC Heerenveen fans have a lot of cause for concern – with 10 concessions in their latest 3 away games, their track record seems to indicate a tendency to underperform in away games.

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 visitors have to contend with several injuries. Jan Ras, Ulysses Llanez Jr., Siem de Jong are the players that will be missing, which makes the SC Heerenveen lineup somewhat weaker than usual. This is made far worse because they were considered undergods going in either way.

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 2.05 at bet365.
