Almere City - FC Utrecht predictions

Almere City will likely try to secure a draw at most. They are outclassed by FC Utrecht, plain and simple, and most bookies online agree with this – after all, the betting odds on a home win for this match are 3.82.

With 2.09 odds for an away win, FC Utrecht have a rather clear path to victory. Still, there’s plenty of room for an upset in a match like this, so other options are still worth considering.

Almere City are coming off from an exciting away match in the Eredivisie. They went against the odds (2.75) to claim a first-half lead and have the rivalling fans biting their nail after 45 minutes. However, they failed to keep it going until the end but a Heracles stalemate can hardly be considered an unsuccessful result against a tough opponent.

FC Utrecht are coming on the back of a crushing defeat at the hands of Ajax. They never really had much of a shot, to be fair: the odds were decidedly against them and they were playing as visitors. The outcome is a 2:0 goal difference and an HT/FT loss.

FC Utrecht recorded 9 goals in all 3 of their latest home games. While they don’t have the home-field advantage in this match, an action-packed match seems very likely.

Although the betting odds are on the away team’s side, they had a lot of trouble facing down Almere City earlier this season. Despite the home-field advantage they had in that game, they lost with a difference of 2 goals and more, which was a major upset.

Both teams will have a complete lineup for an exciting showdown, thanks to the absence of injuries or suspensions.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 2.08, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
