FC Groningen - Vitesse betting tips and odds

With the odds slightly in the hosts’ favour, they have a decent shot at walking away with 3 points. Still, Vitesse can pull off both a win or a draw, so the hosts can’t afford to let their guard down.

The 2.80 away win betting odds indicate that Vitesse are the underdogs of this matchup. The difference is not huge, though, so both a victory for the visitors and are draw are still on the table.

FC Groningen are looking to get back to winning ways following a difficult Eredivisie trip. They were up against a strong rival but held well away from home. Level after 45 minutes, they managed to preserve a point in what ended up being a NEC.

Vitesse will be hoping to bounce back from the last round’s disappointment (2:2). They played RKC Waalwijk in front of their home supporters who were left baffled after seeing their team go behind in the first half and only managing to grab a point in the end.

The first step FC Groningen need to make to improve is to shore up their defences. With more than 5 goals conceded over the last 3 matches, it seems to be the main aspect of play holding them back.

The away team’s defensive record is slipping. They’ve conceded more than 5 times in their previous 3 Eredivisie engagements. This, at least, points to this match as a decent choice for something like an Over 5 Goals bet.

As far as the recent history of this matchup goes, the records show a decisive victory by FC Groningen last season. They even secured a solid lead, which is part of the reason most bookies consider them to be the favourites in this matchup.

Our tip is to risk an Over 3.5 Goals wager. The 1 are worth giving up the relative safety of a simpler Over 2.5. That said, it’s still a relatively riskier bet than what some punters might prefer.
