Sparta Rotterdam - FC Groningen betting tips and odds

Though Sparta Rotterdam are the favourites between these two teams, this is a fairly balanced matchup. All three possible outcomes of a Result bet are quite possible, which at least means we may get to see an exciting game.

FC Groningen are coming into this match as underdogs, though the difference is not overwhelming. Even so, they’re not all that likely to win. An Away Win bet is priced at 3.10 with top online bookies, which could bring a decent profit.

The previous round brought a narrow defeat for Sparta Rotterdam. Betting predictions foresaw an uphill battle considering the home-field disadvantage and incredibly difficult matchup against PSV . The first half went as well as can be expected, but PSV pulled ahead as the game progressed and registed a narrow 2:1 victory.

The result of FC Groningen’s previous home match against FC Twente was a somewhat disappointing 1:1 draw. The result is not bad considering they were tagged as underdogs going in – but it’s a shame their first-half lead went to waste.

The biggest issue the hosts have is a lacklustre backline. They’re currently on a bit of a trend of conceding a lot of goals – over 5 across their 3 previous matches, to be exact.

Based on their recent performance, FC Groningen’s largest issue seems to be defence, especially in away games. With 10 conceded goals in their 3 previous visiting matches, Over 3.5 Goals markets seem like a solid betting option.

Though the odds are against the visitors, at least they’ll be in a position to put up as much of a fight as possible. All of their lineup is accounted for in this match, with no issues from suspensions or injuries.

Our research suggests that Both Teams to Score is a very probable outcome for this match. It’s offered at odds of 1.80 at 10Bet, which is fairly strong in terms of value as well. BTTS is both safe and valuable here – what’s not to like?
