Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The stats suggest there's no obvious winner in this fixture, but the evidence does point towards the conclusion that S.Rotterdam and Groningen will score at least a couple of goals between them. That has been the case when they've gone head-to-head in years gone by, and neither Maurice Steijn or Dick Lukkien has subjected their supporters to too many 0-0s of late either. The bookies are predicting over 1.5 goals too, with best odds of 1.29 equating to about a 77% probability.
