Best Tip: Both teams to score

Heerenveen may feel positive ahead of this fixture and, funnily enough, so might Groningen. The bookmakers don't think there's much between them and neither do we – there's no clear winner in this clash. So we look to the both teams to score market, where there's far more clarity. The form statistics, past head-to-head (H2H) records and bookmakers odds below are all pointing towards both sides scoring, and we think that's the tip to go with here.
