Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Match outcome: FC Twente to win — 1.64
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Both teams to score: NO — 1.88
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Three: Total goals: Under 2.5 — 1.95
Twente are likely to win this tie, thanks to their current form. They haven’t lost a game in their last six matches while Groningen have lost their last four matches.
Groningen have failed to score at least one goal in their last two home matches and the last time Twente played away from home, they kept a clean sheet against Ajax. In their last six matches, Twente kept three clean sheets.
Four of Twente’s last six matches ended with under 2.5 goals. Because Groningen are unlikely to score goals in this game, there’s a chance this tie could end with limited goals.
Groningen haven’t scored in their last two home matches and have lost their last five matches Eredivisie matches and for this reason, they occupy the last position with 12 points after 19 matches.
Twente are unbeaten in their last five Matches and are very much in the Eredivisie title race. A win over Groningen this weekend will put them in a comfortable position at the top. Twente currently occupy the 5th position with 36 points after 19 matches. They have interesting results [draws] against Ajax and Feyenoord, the league leaders.
Groningen have lost their last five Eredivisie games on a bounce and coming up against a Twente side that are unbeaten in their last five matches obviously screams impossible to win for the hosts. Hence, I’m backing the visitors to return home with all three points.
Because I feel Groningen wouldn’t score in this tie and the total goals wouldn’t exceed three goals, hence I’m backing the visitors to win this game comfortably.
It’s always safer when the favourites are doubled chanced. Hence, I’ve backed FC Twente to avoid a defeat at Groningen this weekend.
