Vitesse - FC Groningen betting tips and odds

With the odds set at 1.47 for a home win, Vitesse winning is clearly the most likely outcome in this matchup. Bigger upsets have happened, of course, but we wouldn’t expect anything but a decisive home win.

If betting odds are anything to go on – and they are - FC Groningen will likely get overrun by their opponents with little hope of winning. Considering how one-sided this matchup is, they may want to cut their losses and focus their energy elsewhere.

Vitesse went into their previous home game as the hard favourites but failed to gain the upper hand before half-time. However, the second half was a bit more predictable, and the hosts ended up winning the match 2:0.

FC Groningen played a home game in the previous round, with Ajax visiting as the overwhelming favourites. The game predictably ended with an away win, but it’s worth noting that FC Groningen put up a relatively decent fight by maintaining a tie well into the second half.

We’ve seen some excellent defensive play from Vitesse lately – they haven’t conceded a single goal for more than three home games which makes To Win to Nil a fairly reasonable option in this match.

FC Groningen have a notoriously bad track record when it comes to defending their posts. Though their recent streak of 5 conceded goals over 3 home games does not directly apply here, it’s still bad news.

These two teams already clashed this season, and Vitesse walked away with a solid away win. It was fairly narrow, though, giving FC Groningen supporters some hope for this game despite the unfavourable matchup.

To make things even more difficult for the visitors, they’ve had an unfortunate run of injuries recently. P. Abraham, Michael Verrips, Liam Van Gelderen, Jetro Willems have all been put out of contention, leaving the team’s coach with a more limited set of options at his disposal.

An Under 3.5 Goals bet is an interesting choice for this match. It’s quite safe as you might expect, but the 1 odds offer more in the way of betting value than you would think.
