FC Groningen - Willem II predictions

By pricing a home win at around 2.16, the bookies made it clear that FC Groningen are the favourites. Overall, though, the difference between the teams is not big, and the match can end either way.

Willem II will have little to hope for in this match. 3.70 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.

Although FC Groningen are coming on the back of a harsh 5:0 loss, it would be rather unfair to judge them purely on that performance. They were playing an away game in an extremely difficult matchup against PSV , so they spent most of the match trailing behind.

Willem II narrowly avoided a home defeat in the previous round of Eredivisie. Playing against NAC Breda, they were behind at half-time but managed to catch up. The 2:2 result is no cause for celebration, though, given the favourable matchup and home-field advantage.

A high concessions rate is not a good look to have, and FC Groningen have been on a downward spiral when it comes to their defensive performance. With 5 goals conceded over their past 3 games, there’s definite room for improvement.

A Home Win at the odds of 2.14 is the most likely outcome here with decent value and a strong probability of success. This doesn’t seem like a good opportunity to take unnecessary risks.
