Slovan Liberec vs Groningen Betting Tips

Portuguese side Sporting Braga top Group F through two games picking up wins in both games. Meanwhile, French team Marseille and Czech squad Slovan Liberec each have one win and one loss from those two games. Dutch club Groningen have lost both of their games. The group will take significant shape after the third match-up.

Slovan Liberec don’t score a lot of goals, they don’t concede many either. The game plan is simple, suffocate the game, lock down by staying deep and get men behind the ball, and try to steal one goal. It worked in their last game in the South of France against Marseille, but they lost their opener to Sporting Braga.

They face a Groningen side that is in serious danger of falling out of competitiveness. They’ve not enjoyed the best of form in domestic competition, as is the case with many Europa League teams, their depth is just lacking a little and they have yet to score a goal in their two games so far. A trip to the Czech Republic won’t be easy.

Three Reasons for Betting Tips

1. Slovan Liberec’s game plan will work

Groningen are not going to come after them, which should play into Liberec’s hands, especially playing this game at home.

2. Domestic focus for Groningen

We think this team will have one eye on the weekend’s Dutch Eredivisie game, as they try to settle down their up and down domestic form. They beat Willem II last weekend and they need to build on that.

3. Czech side will find a way

We really like Slovan Liberec’s chances of advancing in this group and they’ll know that a home game against Groningen will be pretty crucial.
