FC Groningen - SC Heerenveen betting tips and odds

The visiting team knows the task they face will not be easy. Beating FC Groningen on their own turf would be a major accomplishment, and it is always a formidable challenge.

SC Heerenveen are not a team that backs down from a challenge and we expect them to give their best in an effort to claim a victory in this match.

FC Groningen returned home from their latest Eredivisie trip without anything in their bag. However, knowing they were the huge underdogs anyway, a narrow AZ Alkmaar HT/FT defeat is not to be considered too devastating for their confidence heading into the Sunday clash.

SC Heerenveen played against Ajax last round, so it’s hard to be surprised by the harsh 2:4 home loss. The 1.38 betting odds are a good indication of just how one-sided such a matchup is.

FC Groningen have displayed rather inconsistent defensive play in their previous outings. Specifically, their previous 3 away games have been marked by more than 5 conceded goals. They may be at home this time, but such records usually highlight deeper issues than a home-field disadvantage.

SC Heerenveen’s recent track record shows a very concerning amount of concessions – 11 of them in their previous 3 matches, to be exact. While it’s obvious their defence has a lot of problems, Over markets might be a good option for this match.

The away team are seen as favourites despite their role as the visitors, and that makes a lot of sense considering the previous clash with FC Groningen they had. SC Heerenveen pulled far ahead of their opponents and secured a decisive victory.

Though the visitors are favourites here, it’s important to note they’ll be playing without Sven van Beek, Timo Zaal, Andries Noppert, Daniel Seland Karlsbakk due to injury. On the flip side, the hosts will also be several players short – namely, Daleho Irandust, P. Abraham, Nordin Musampa, Mads Bech Sørensen, Oliver Antman have also reported 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 2.03, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
