FC Groningen vs Fortuna Sittard Betting Tips &— Groningen to win

Expect a competitive cup match on Thursday as both teams are in good form coming into this contest.

Despite Groningen’s recent 1:0 loss to Dordrecht last Friday, the home team has maintained a solid performance with seven victories in their last nine games. Currently in sixth place in the league, the Trots van het Noorden are only five points away from advancing to the promotion playoff positions.

Groningen has been performing exceptionally well at Euroborg, securing victories in their last five league games. The host team managed to score a minimum of two goals in each of their previous six home matches. Additionally, both teams scored in five of those games.

Fortuna, despite being the visiting team, have been performing well since the start of the year. They have not lost any of their last four league matches and are currently in tenth place in the division, just two points away from the European playoff positions.

Despite some recent progress, Fortuna’s away record remains dismal. They managed a rare 1:0 victory at Volendam a mere ten days ago, but were unsuccessful in their preceding 14 away games, with 3 draws and 11 losses. Sittard also struggled to score in six out of their ten away league games this season. However, they do have a successful history in this particular match-up, implying that there is a possibility of both teams scoring on Thursday.

Considering these sides’ respective home and away form this season, I’m taking a chance on Groningen to claim the scalp of their top-flight visitors. With Fortuna so poor on their travels, Dick Lukkien´s side can take advantage and book their place in the KNVB Beker semi finals.
