FC Groningen form and stats

There's been little loot from FC Groningen's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 11 away games in the Eredivisie. FC Groningen only have 1 win to counter their 8 defeats and 2 draws. A depressing five defeats in a row for Groningen in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus FC Emmen.

FC Groningen won their last game, 3-0 versus Excelsior played at home. That victory was so needed for this club, after a terrible sequence of eleven league games in a row not winning. Attacker Irandust got a player rating of 8.11 in the game. "Man of the match" Irandust signed up for two assists, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times.

A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting FC Emmen.

With the home side given a winning chance of roughly 80% by the bookmakers, any beneficial result for the away team would be an eye-opener. Researching earlier matches with similar odds and FC Groningen as the visiting side, we found 6 results. The data from these were 0 away wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats. The visitors lost 4 of these fixtures by at least two goals.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting FC Groningen as they have only managed to score 8 times from 11 away games in the league. For Groningen, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net. FC Groningen has visited these top teams four times, and 4 of 4 has ended with 2 goals or more!
