FC Utrecht - Ajax betting tips and odds

While FC Utrecht winning is still technically possible, we wouldn’t hold our breath. They are severely outmatched compared to Ajax, so even a draw result would be quite surprising.

With a price of 1.90 on them winning, Ajax should definitely feel more confident going into this match. Of course, the difference is not insurmountable, so we’d say a draw is quite likely as well.

FC Utrecht lost their previous Eredivisie match with little fanfare – though the 1:0 outcome was still a bit of an upset. The prematch betting odds implied their victory was the most likely outcome even though they were the visitors.

Considering the 2.65 betting odds, the probability of Ajax winning their previous Eredivisie match wasn’t great. Despite a home-field advantage, they recorded an HT/FT defeat with a one-goal difference, so they’ll need to look elsewhere to secure some points.

FC Utrecht’s recent performances have raised some questions about their defence. They conceded 6 goals throughout their latest three Eredivisie matches and betting on Over 4.5 seems like a reasonable option.

A quick look at the visiting team’s recent history tells us a lot about their weaknesses. Specifically, we’re talking about the fact that they’ve allowed more than 5 goals over their 3 most recent Eredivisie outings.

We’re just a few rounds into this year’s Eredivisie season and FC Utrecht are already in dire straits. They’re in the relegation zone with barely any hopes of earning points in round 9. Hopefully, they’ll be able to use the rest of the season wisely.

With 5 points after 9 matches, Ajax must not be too pleased at the moment. Fortunately, there is more than enough time to rectify everything and a win over FC Utrecht would definitely take them further away from the relegation zone.

If the previous season is anything to go on, FC Utrecht don’t stand much of a chance here. Ajax beat them several times in recent memory, and the result wasn’t even that close.

Both rosters have been impacted by an unfortunate string of injuries, leaving them with limited options. The favoured visitors will be short Gerónimo Rulli, Ahmetcan Kaplan, A. Van Axel Dongen, Sivert Mannsverk, while Hidde ter Avest, Mike Van der Hoorn, Zidane Iqbal will not play for the home team.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.50 odds offered at 888Sport.
