FC Utrecht - Ajax betting tips and odds

To call the upcoming match difficult for FC Utrecht would be a major understatement. They are going up against impossible odds. With a home win priced at 6.75 with major online bookmakers, this is a completely one-sided game.

Ajax seem to be on their way to another easy victory and 3 more points to the tally. Priced at 1.48, the odds favour them heavily, so any outcome other than an away win is not exactly a safe choice.

Top betting sites online saw FC Utrecht as big favourites to land three points against FC Twente. Their supporters certainly hoped FC Utrecht would make use of the 1.96 betting odds but they went behind in the first half instead and had to claw their way back to earn a point.

Ajax have shown to know how to seize an opportunity and keep it going. Just last round they secured a solid 5:0 in a home game against Fortuna Sittard. Being hard favourites with odds of 1.06 on a home win, they easily took the lead in the first half and kept the upper hand until the end.

FC Utrecht can’t seem to maintain a proper defence whenever they play as visitors. With 8 concessions over the past three away games, it’s obvious some tweaks need to be made in defence.

You may want to look at Ajax as good candidates for markets like BTTS bets or Over 5 Goals. They have more than 5 goals on record from their previous 3 games alone.

The season’s match history tells us that Ajax lost their previous game against FC Utrecht even though they were the hosts. Despite the defeat and the fact that they’re playing as the away team this time, they’re still marked as the favourites.

Though the visitors are favourites here, it’s important to note they’ll be playing without Maarten Stekelenburg, Sean Klaiber, Noussair Mazraoui, Lisandro Martínez, Kudus Mohammed due to injury. On the flip side, the hosts will also be several players short – namely, Tommy St Jago, Christopher Mamengi, Sylian Aldren Mokono have also reported injuries.

Going for a -1.5 Handicap on the favourite’s score is the best way to get some value out of this match. You’ll eliminate the possibility of a draw, for one. More importantly, this way you might actually get a decent payout for backing the stronger team.
