Sparta Rotterdam - FC Groningen betting tips and odds

Sparta Rotterdam are easily the favourites in the match this Saturday, but we wouldn’t call a Home Win bet at the odds of 2.18 safe, exactly. They are more likely to win than not, but FC Groningen may have a few tricks up their sleeve yet.

FC Groningen are heading into a difficult fight, but it’s far from hopeless. They may need to bring their best, but the match can go any way at this point. The odds of an away win are 3.50 right now, which means the favourites are far from clear.

Sparta Rotterdam’s previous Eredivisie match did not go their way, but not even the most stubborn fans would have predicted a different result against a team as strong as Feyenoord . They played as visitors, and the top online bookmakers priced an away win at 13.00. They never recovered from some early concessions, and the score was brought to a conclusive 3:0 result before the end.

FC Groningen are coming on the back of a surprisingly strong performance in the last round’s away game against SC Cambuur. Despite a home-field disadvantage and overwhelmingly unfavourable odds, they managed to walk away with a narrow victory after a second-half decider that went against most Eredivisie betting predictions.

Sparta Rotterdam are a force to be reckoned with when met on their home turf, which is the case here. They currently have a trend going on with more than 5 goals scored over the last 3 home games, and they’ll certainly be looking to continue it.

FC Groningen can’t really boast a great record when it comes to playing as visitors. They conceded upwards of 5 goals in their most recent 3 away games. Considering they’re heading into another away game, that’s cause for concern.

Though it’s a stretch, a Draw bet is likely the best option when it comes to betting on this match. With the odds at 3.50 with bwin, it’s not exactly the safest of bets – but it’s quite strong when it comes to value.
