Back Over 2.5 Goals With Confidence

We think the Total Goals market gives us plenty of value on the basis that we can bet on Over 2.5 at the available price of 1.62. We anticipate PEC and Groningen to notch the goals which can land a payout.

Goalless Draw in Pair’s Last Encounter

PEC Zwolle got the win in their last game. A 2-1 victory occurred on the road at Koning Willem II Stadion when meeting Willem II. Johnny Jansen's team had most of the ball boasting 58% possession and six shots on target, while Younes Namli and Eliano Reijnders each scored one goal.

FC Groningen drew 2-2 in their previous game. This was at home at Euroborg against Ajax. They had 46% possession and managed five shots on goal, with Thom van Bergen and Thijmen Blokzijl finding the net.

It’s been successive draws in the previous three meetings between PEC and Groningen, with the last encounter ending 0-0 at Euroborg. The previous 8 H2H games have featured three PEC wins, three draws and two Groningen victories.
