Groningen RKC Waalwijk betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

An interesting bet for this match would be “over 2.5 goals”. Groningen, after their thrashing of Heracles, should try to keep up their attacking pace and look for more goals at home. Waalwijk, although in poor form, need to take more risks to get out of this situation, which could lead to a game with plenty of chances and goals.
