Groningen vs NEC Betting Tips

Groningen enter Friday night’s game desperately in need of a win after getting thrashed 4-1 at home by FC Utrecht and going win-less for a spell that dates back to November 29. Still, the club is amazingly still ninth in the Dutch Eredivisie table and they’ve stuck relatively firmly with their team selection and approach. The club clearly believes in what they are trying to achieve and that’s got to be a good sign.

Home wins over Feyenoord and Willem II have moved NEC into fifth position in the Dutch Eredivisie table. They moved ahead of Heracles on goal difference and can now truly count themselves as a serious part of the Europa League football conversation.

This should be an interesting game, clash of styles and with important ramifications for the standings. Groningen currently trail NEC by just four points.

Three Reasons for Betting Tips

1. Groningen find form

The team is better than recent results indicate and we think they are very much due to put a few things together.

2. NEC away from home

Their best results have come with home field advantage, we’re less convinced by this side away from home.

3. Good odds

Home winner, ninth place, Europa League finisher from last season, we’re getting a decent Groningen side at 5/4.
