FC Utrecht - Almere City predictions

Kickoff starts at 12:15 on 09/02/2025 played @ Stadion Galgenwaard

Almere City will have little to hope for against FC Utrecht. The home charges are bursting with confidence and it would take a small miracle for the away team to take anything from this game.

From the present standpoint, the situation is clear as day. Considering the strength of FC Utrecht and the 8.00 odds given to Almere City to win, it is easy to conclude that a victory for the visiting team would be a surprising upset.

The hosts narrowly avoided losing an away game in the previous round – which isn’t great news considering most bookies expected them to win. Their opponents PEC Zwolle were leading at halftime, but a late-game equaliser from FC Utrecht managed brought the score to 3:3.

Almere City can’t be feeling too confident after their latest performance against RKC Waalwijk. They had a decent start and took a lead in the first half, but the second half was a downright embarrassment in front of their fans, culminating in a crushing 1:4 defeat.

The hosts’ fans are somewhat disappointed at them, given the lacklustre defensive performances they’ve seen recently. FC Utrecht conceded more than 5 times over the previous 3 games played at Stadion Galgenwaard.

Almere City’s recent track record shows a very concerning amount of concessions – 6 of them in their previous 3 matches, to be exact. While it’s obvious their defence has a lot of problems, Over markets might be a good option for this match.

The hosts are doing well enough so far and are in a Champions League qualifying spot. The season is only past its halfway point, however, so they’ll need to work hard on staying there. Another 3 points here is definitely not a longshot, though.

Almere City’s Eredivisie campaign has been going quite poorly this year – they’re currently stuck in the relegation zone and are going into a very difficult matchup. There’s thankfully still time to strive for a better outcome, but time is running out quickly.

Looking at the previous time these squads clashed in this season, it’s no surprise that FC Utrecht are the favourites. They managed to grab a narrow win playing as visitors, and it’s quite reasonable to expect them to do the same as the hosts.

Can Bozdogan, Miguel Rodríguez, Noah Ohio will all have to sit this one out due to injuries, leaving the home team’s lineup in a weakened state. They still have an advantage according to betting prices, but it may not be as notable as it would have been otherwise.

Though the odds are against the visitors, at least they’ll be in a position to put up as much of a fight as possible. All of their lineup is accounted for in this match, with no issues from suspensions or injuries.

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 odds offered at 1xbet.

Betting tip (stake: 7/10): Over 2,5 1 at 1xbet
Correct score prediction: 3:1
