Groningen Sparta Rotterdam betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 13^th position of the league, with 11 points won, after 2 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against SC Heerenveen, by (2‑0). In the last match, they lost in a home match against FC Utrecht, by (1‑4). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since they have won 7 points in away matches and 4 at their stadium, with 6 goals scored and 10 conceded at home, against 6 goals scored and 7 conceded in away matches. In the last 5 away league matches Sparta has a record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, so they have won 7 points out of 15 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 21 of the last 23 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals. In 11 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 5 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 9 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 4 of their 10 goals between minutes (61'‑75').

Despite their poor form, Sparta feel ready to spring a surprise in this match. The team has been inconsistent on the pitch, but it's crucial that they put in a strong performance. Away from home, they will have a valuable opportunity to go head-to-head with Groningen and pick up a good result.
