Ajax - FC Utrecht betting tips and odds

This is a fairly one-sided matchup in the hosts’ favour. While there may be a tiny chance of a draw or even an upset, we wouldn’t count on it. Ajax winning is by far the most likely outcome.

This one has Home Win written all over it. The hosts are expected to grab a firm hold of the proceedings and FC Utrecht will be left with slim pickings in this match.

The latest showing from Ajax can be called a tour de force. AZ Alkmaar were somewhat weaker opponents, true, but 0:3 result in an away game deserves nothing but praise.

Although FC Utrecht were the home team in their previous Eredivisie match, bookmakers online predicted that they will lose to PEC Zwolle. After a rocky first half, however, they managed to equalize and end the match on a 3:3 draw.

Ajax have managed to bag 8 goals in the last three showdowns, and the supporters at Sportpark De Wachtelenberg are expecting a lot of action this time around.

We should point out that FC Utrecht scored more than 5 goals over the course of their previous 3 home games. They’re visitors this time around, but it’s still worth noting for the benefit of bets like Over 5 Goals.

Ajax are top of the pack on the Eredivisie table, so they’re well on their way to a successful finish. Considering they’ll be the favourites this Sunday, their supporters’ optimism grows by the day.

The two teams already met this season in the Eredivisie, with Ajax taking the victory. It’s understandable why most bookies consider them the favourites, though the advantage is not overwhelming.

To make things even more difficult for the visitors, they’ve had an unfortunate run of injuries recently. Emil Bergstrom, Simon Gustafsson, Eljero Elia, Mimoun Mahi have all been put out of contention, leaving the team’s coach with a more limited set of options at his disposal.

A Home Win bet is the obvious answer here, especially at the odds of 1.33. While the returns won’t be as great, the bet is as safe as they come.
