Sparta Rotterdam - FC Groningen predictions

The home team is the obvious choice for anyone looking to bet on favourites. The match is not completely one-sided, though, which is why you may actually get worthwhile returns.

Though it may not be particularly attractive to punters, this match is at least easy to predict. Anything but a Home Win is probably wishful thinking for FC Groningen, whose victory has been priced at a hefty 4.79.

Sparta Rotterdam have a lot to be proud of when it comes to their previous performance. Almost everyone expected a loss because they were visiting a far stronger team - AZ Alkmaar . After an inconclusive first half, however, Sparta Rotterdam narrowly won the game against all odds (1:2).

FC Groningen’s previous Eredivisie match ended in victory, though it was a close one. Top online bookmakers considered them to have the upper hand against SC Heerenveen going in. While the first half was inconclusive, they bagged a 1:0 home win.

FC Groningen’s record shows zero concessions over their previous three home games. As such, Away winning to Nill seems like a solid option to consider.

Despite the 1.80 price for a home win, the hosts lost their previous match against FC Groningen. However, it’s important to keep in mind that they were the visitors in that bout.

With zero injuries reported across the board, this is shaping up to be an exciting outing indeed. Both teams will have their complete squads at their disposal, so we can fully expect them to bring their A-game.

The 1.84 offered for Under 2.5 Goals bets in this match may seem a bit risky considering the market, but they’re well worth it compared to the probability of the outcome. That said, it’s a solid choice for value, but not necessarily safety.
