NextGOAL tip: Fortuna Sittard +1.25 · 2 stars
In the last 5 meetings, only once did FC Groningen win by 2 goals (4-1), and the other 4 ended with a margin of no more than 1 goal or a draw (1-2, 2-1, 1-0, 0-0). This match opens with the home team favored, but the line hasn't moved from 1.25 to 1 goal, reflecting that the market isn't too confident in Groningen's hot form, as in their last 5 matches they won 3 but lost badly 1-5 in the most recent one. Meanwhile, Fortuna Sittard lost 2 of their last 5, but both losses were against big teams (1-3, 0-2), and in 3 matches this season they've lost only once. So this match is likely to be tight and end with a margin of no more than 1 goal, rather than the home team winning by a landslide.
