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.

SC Heerenveen’s painful defeat in their previous away match could have been seen from a mile away. They were facing AZ Alkmaar as visitors, so betting predictions never gave them much of a shot. The home team took an early lead which culminated in a 3:1 loss for SC Heerenveen.

FC Groningen’s victory against PEC Zwolle in the previous round of the Eredivisie was narrow, but it agreed with most betting predictions. They dominated the pitch from start to finish and the fans at their home stadium were quite pleased.

Scoring more than 5 times over their past 3 home games, FC Groningen have been playing with remarkable consistency lately. Although they’re the visitors this time, it’s an impressive record.

With a series of mixed results in the first half of this Eredivisie season, FC Groningen have their eyes set on moving up to a Europa League qualifying spot. SC Heerenveen are not about to make it easy for them, though.

To make things even more difficult for the visitors, they’ve had an unfortunate run of injuries recently. Azor Matusiwa, Arjen Robben, Patrick Joosten have all been put out of contention, leaving the team’s coach with a more limited set of options at his disposal.

Betting on a Draw is likely to be your best option, though it’s a relatively risky wager. It offers decent value with the 3.60 odds, though, which can be found at top online bookmakers such as Betsson.
