Why it might land
  • Excelsior carry decent momentum into this match after picking up two wins from their last five league fixtures.
  • FC Groningen are struggling for form lately having suffered two losses in a row in their recent outings.
  • The market offers a very fair price of 2.45 for a home win considering the current trajectory of both clubs.
Why it might not
  • Excelsior have also recorded two draws in their last five matches which shows they can sometimes struggle to close out games.
  • FC Groningen did manage to secure a win and two draws before their recent defeats so they are capable of taking points.

Members analysis

Edge Analysis

In depth
The matchup

The market makes Excelsior the side to beat here at 38%, but only just, so this reads as a close call rather than a mismatch. Our model lands on Excelsior, and it backs that with a 2 units stake. Excelsior look slightly better equipped at home given their recent wins. Groningen travel here on the back of consecutive losses.

Form and momentum

Excelsior come in patchy, winning 33% of 40 on record. 6 of their 20 home games went their way, and the numbers point to a fairly even scoring record. Right now they are on 1 draw in a row.

FC Groningen come in patchy, winning 40% of 40 on record. 8 of their 20 away games went their way, and the numbers point to a side that scores freely. Right now they are on 1 win in a row.

The price and the value

The prices turn into 38% for EXC, 26% for the draw and 36% for GRO once the bookmaker margin is stripped out. There is little between the two in the market, so the edge, if there is one, sits in the detail rather than the headline price. Our call sits at 2.45, and we only stake it because the reasons for it outweigh the reasons against.

When these two meet

These two have been level across 2 past meetings, 1 wins each and 0 drawn. Nothing in the history separates them.

Where it could go wrong
  • Excelsior have also recorded two draws in their last five matches which shows they can sometimes struggle to close out games.
  • FC Groningen did manage to secure a win and two draws before their recent defeats so they are capable of taking points.
The bottom line

We back Excelsior for 2 units. It settles itself when the game ends, win or lose, and it goes on the record either way. This is an opinion read off the form and the prices on this page, not advice, and never a promise of a result.

Old meetings are worth less than they look. Squads change, managers change, and a result from two seasons ago tells you almost nothing about this one.

Excelsior v Groningen, any love for the home side?

The site model goes for Excelsior at home since they have recent wins and Groningen lost their last two. Then again, Excelsior have drawn two of their last five so they might struggle to finish teams ...
