FC Groningen - Sparta Rotterdam betting tips and odds

Though the home team can be called favourites, they can’t quite relax going into the match at Sparta Rotterdam. Their advantage is quite narrow, and just a few mistakes could end up costing them the game.

While Sparta Rotterdam may manage to claw their way to a win yet, it will be quite a struggle. As we can see thanks to the 3.20 betting odds for an away win, the odds are stacked against them – though it’s still manageable.

Though FC Groningen are here after an away defeat in the previous round against PSV , that performance does not offer an accurate assessment of their form. They played as visitors against an overwhelmingly stronger opponent, so perhaps the draw in the first half and 1:0 loss aren’t too bad.

Sparta Rotterdam gave the fans at their home stadium quite a show in their previous game against VVV-Venlo, snagging a decisive 2:0 victory. The victory itself was somewhat predictable, but the first-half lead and notable lead speaks volumes about their form.

FC Groningen are going through a string of uneventful away matches. The last two both had one goal or fewer, so fans are hoping for a bit more excitement at Sportpark Lonerstraat.

Sparta Rotterdam and their strikers are well-regarded by experts and bookies alike – they managed to score more than 5 times in their previous 3 home games.

Looking over the head-to-head statistics for this Eredivisie season, the hosts already recorded a victory over Sparta Rotterdam. This puts them ahead of their opponents, which is reflected in the betting odds.
