View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
Both teams have exceeded the 1.5-goal threshold in 100% of their matches so far this season, and in every game they have both scored and conceded at least one goal. In their last five appearances, Go Ahead Eagles averaged 2.4 goals scored and 2.2 conceded, while Groningen averaged 2.2 scored and 2.4 conceded. The xG profile also points to an open game: the hosts’ average xG is 1.96, compared with 2.07 xG conceded by Groningen, while the visitors create an average of 1.62 xG against 1.46 xG conceded by the hosts. The 2.5 line also has strong support, as both teams exceeded it in 100% of their season matches and last five games; however, Over 1.5 is the safest choice with a projected 3.63 goals. Further support comes from the league average of 4.05 goals and the fact that 85% of matches have featured at least three goals.
