Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

It may be an over exaggeration to say that we expect Dick Lukkien and Rogier Meijer to got all-out defensive here, but we certainly don't expect to see a glut of goals as Groningen and NEC go head-to-head. The stats belowsuggest there will be under 2.5 goals (i.e. 2 goals of fewer in total), and we're saying that's a good shout here. With best odds of 2.00 available on under 2.5 goals and neither side looking like strong favourites to win, that's the bet we'd advise you go for.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think Groningen are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 44% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 2.88.
