Main Match Prediction

We’re going to have a wager on Groningen considering they have a +1.5 goal start for this Eredivisie encounter. The betting odds of -105 look attractive and we expect to land a payout.

Key stats supporting our main match prediction (league matches):

  • The +1.5 line has been covered by Groningen in 17 of their last 20 games.
  • The +1.5 line has been covered by Groningen in 8 of their last 10 games.
  • The +1.5 line has been covered by Groningen in 2 consecutive games.
  • The -1.5 line hasn’t been covered by PSV in 6 of their last 10 games.
  • The -1.5 line hasn’t been covered by PSV in 12 of their last 20 games.
  • The -1.5 line hasn’t been covered by PSV in 2 consecutive games.

The latest Eredivisie injuries and suspensions can affect the overall outcome and we use this information as well as the form guide. The same applies to the stats so that we can get the best understanding of how things might pan out.

Groningen +1.5 Probability

According to the top bookies, our pick has a 51.3% chance of landing a return. However, our experts have this number between 55-60% based on their in-depth research. This is why we can recommend this bet.

Looking for Bigger Odds?

There is regularly the choice to sell goals which potentially provides the chance to secure a larger return. Alternatively, buying goals is a safer option at skinnier odds.

Player Prop Picks

Top Pick: Brynjolfur Andersen Willumsson Over 0.5 Shots On Target -130 BetMGM logo

Thom van Bergen to Score +270 BetMGM logo

Thom van Bergen (Groningen) has been on the scoresheet in back-to-back Eredivisie games. It’s worth a gamble on the +270 for him to be Anytime Goalscorer as there’s plenty of juice in these betting odds.

Corners Prediction

Under 10.5 Corners -103 BetMGM logo

The 10.5 Total Corners line has not been covered in three straight Groningen games, while the same outcome has happened in two  consecutive PSV matches. If you agree with our verdict that the Total Corners line is too high, go for odds of -103 that the teams go under.

Betting Sites Running Scared of PSV Victory

PSV Eindhoven have been priced up as the overwhelming -357 favourites for this Eredivisie clash. This means the bookies give them a 78% chance of claiming victory. FC Groningen are the +750 outsiders, with the draw being a different option which could yield dividends.

It sometimes pays to go down the Half-Time Result route and the draw is available at +205. Alternatively, PSV can be backed at -172 and Groningen are on offer at +510.

The expectation is that Over 2.5 Goals will be scored according to the latest odds. The Yes option in the Both Teams to Score market is regarded as the most likely outcome and is trading at -208.

Hundreds of markets are now a guarantee for each of the Eredivisie matches, with the recommended football betting sites making sure that customers have quality options.

Ricardo Pepi Shortest Odds for First Goalscorer

The First Goalscorer favourite is Ricardo Pepi at +310. Similar odds can be found if you’re interested in this player to register the last goal.
