Vitesse - FC Groningen betting tips and odds

We don’t expect Vitesse to have any issues beating FC Groningen. The hosts are largely favoured by all the top bookmakers online and 1.80 might actually be a good-value bet to consider. The visitors are not to be underestimated but on this particular instance the home side are seen as clear winners.

FC Groningen will have little to hope for in this match. 4.60 betting odds on them winning paint a pretty clear picture and from this standpoint there is little doubt in regard to the outcome of this clash.

Vitesse played at FC Emmen in the previous round and absolutely dominated the entire match. An early lead turned into a complete fiasco for the opposition, exceeding even the most optimistic of predictions in a 1:4 win.

FC Groningen are clearly having issues when it comes to their form. Despite being somewhat favoured at odds of 2.25 at their latest home game, they spent most of it playing from behind. They salvaged the game with a 2:2 draw, but it wasn’t their best performance overall.

Vitesse are on a bit of a streak when it comes to scoring. With more than 7 over their last 3 matches, fans are feeling fairly confident in their goal-scoring ability. Likewise, bookmakers online are fairly confident the Saturday match will yield Over 4.5 goals.

FC Groningen’s recent track record shows a very concerning amount of concessions – 6 of them in their previous 3 matches, to be exact. While it’s obvious their defence has a lot of problems, Over markets might be a good option for this match.

Vitesse are currently 3 points behind the table leaders. There’s still plenty of time, however, and they seem poised to take another three points this Saturday. The Champions League dream seems like a reality at this point but with 3 points behind the leaders, a league title is still within their grasp.

With a series of mixed results in the first half of this Eredivisie season, FC Groningen have their eyes set on moving up to a Europa League qualifying spot. Vitesse are not about to make it easy for them, though.

Our tip is to risk an Over 3.5 Goals wager. The 3.15 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.
