FC Utrecht - Ajax betting tips and odds

A mere glance at the betting odds for this match should tell you most you need to know. A home win here is almost an impossible outcome, so it’s not very likely we’ll see solid betting opportunities in the 1X2 market.

A trip to FC Utrecht can hardly be seen as a big test for Ajax. With 1.44 betting odds stacked in their favour, it’s hard seeing past anything other than a compelling away win here.

It’s hard to make reliable claims about the form of FC Utrecht purely based on the previous round against FC Emmen . While the first half was fairly solid on their end, the match ended in a narrow 3:2 away defeat.

Three points are in the bag for Ajax when it comes to their last Eredivisie game. However, a 0:1 victory is not something they will be too proud of. They did lead at halftime but were also expected to increase the goal difference after the break – which they failed to do.

This match might present a rare opportunity to go for an Over 4.5 Goals bet. Ajax have netted 10 goals in each of their previous 3 games – which is quite a track record.

Looking back at the history of this matchup, we can see an Ajax victory from the previous season. Based on the considerable goal lead they had over FC Utrecht at the final whistle, the 1.44 odds for an away win make a lot of sense.

The hosts are in an unenviable position either way, but a large number of reported injuries makes it even worse. Tommy St Jago, Arthur Zagre, Sander van de Streek, Bart Ramselaar, Mike Van der Hoorn, Ramon Hendriks are all forced to sit this one out. The hurdles set in front of FC Utrecht are considerable.

The visiting team’s position as favourites is beyond question, especially with their whole roster at hand. They’ve had no recent injuries heading into the match at FC Utrecht,

An Over 3.5 Goals wager here can net you considerably better results than the Over 2.5 counterpart, and the probability of winning remains almost as strong. The 1.75 odds offered at 10Bet are great for value, too.
