SC Heerenveen - FC Groningen betting tips and odds

Predicting which side will win this match based on odds alone is a complete toss-up. We would say the hosts have a bit of an advantage, but their success is by no means assured.

Out of their home field and heading into this match as underdogs, FC Groningen 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.

The hosts returned from their most recent Eredivisie trip with a point in their bag. Based on the betting odds available, it was always going to be a tight game and SC Heerenveen can be satisfied with the fact they held level both at the halftime mark and after the full-time whistle.

FC Groningen’s previous Eredivisie home match against Ajax was heavily skewed against them, with most online bookmakers pricing a home win at 13.00. They surprisingly held on to a draw until half-time, but it all came to a head in the later stages of the game. The final result was a painful 1:3 defeat.

SC Heerenveen managed a draw result at 3 consecutive away games. Some might call this a mild success, but fans are hoping for something more exciting.

Results and standings notwithstanding, FC Groningen have run into some defensive issues in this stretch of the Eredivisie. In the past 3 matches, they allowed more than 5 goals to their opponents, which may be cause for concern for their supporters.

This matchup has been consistently ending in a draw throughout the current season. SC Heerenveen played against FC Groningen on several occasions in multiple different competitions, and never managed to gain the upper hand despite being considered favourites.

This match is notable for the number of injuries reported prior by both sides. On one hand, the hosts will have to make do without Paweł Bochniewicz, Nicolas Madsen, Joost van Aken. On the other, the visitors will not be able to count on Tomáš Suslov, Jan Hoekstra, Radinio Balker. Both are in a precarious state, but you should take the importance of these players to the respective strategies before putting down a stake.

There’s nothing quite worse than losing a wager to a surprise draw, which is a distinct possibility in this matchup. Nonetheless, our solution is to simply go for a Draw No Bet market for a Home Win – an excellent chance of success, plus decent value with the odds set at 1.67.
