Groningen vs Sparta Rotterdam Predictions
Groningen thrashed RKC 3-0 at home last time out and go in search of a third straight home win this weekend, while Sparta made it three games unbeaten when they secured a 2-1 victory over fellow newly-promoted side Twente.
All of the stats suggest that this game will produce goals and we have backed at least three to be scored on Sunday and have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1 in favour of Groningen.
Over 2.5 goals have been produced in four of the last five meetings between these two clubs and Groningen won the pairs last encounter in late 2017, so you can start to see why we’ve backed a 2-1 win for the hosts this weekend.
The form of the pair heading into Sunday’s clash only adds weight to our prediction, as Groningen have won their last two home games and Sparta Rotterdam are without a win in their last three games on the road.
The performances of both teams over the last month or so give more credence to our prediction for goals in Sunday’s match, as over 2.5 goals have been scored in four of Groningen’s and five of Sparta Rotterdam’s last six matches and both teams have only managed to keep two clean sheets in their last six attempts.
The visitors won’t go down without a fight having picked up points in each of their last three outings and so far this season the newly-promoted club have outperformed Groningen in the Eredivisie. However, the hosts started poorly last season and once their home form kicked in they pushed for the European places in the second half of that campaign and the hosts head into this match with back to back home wins to their name.
We’re confident that over 2.5 goals will be produced in Sunday’s match and have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1 in favour of Groningen. The hosts have started to play well in their own backyard and tend to be a very tough side to beat in front of their own fans. Sparta Rotterdam have failed to win any of their last three away games and lost heavily the last time they made the trip to Groningen but have gone three games undefeated which is why we’re expecting a close and competitive ninety minutes.
