FC Twente - FC Utrecht predictions

Punters who are looking for a safe bet should definitely consider this match. The home win odds of 1.67 bring great value considering the fact that FC Twente are indeed firm favourites to defeat FC Utrecht.

From the current viewpoint, the situation is unambiguous. Considering the strength of FC Twente and the 5.50 odds given to FC Utrecht to win, it is easy to see that a win for the visiting team would be a remarkable upset.

The hosts are coming on the back of a decisive victory at Excelsior. If we keep the 5.80 betting odds on them winning in mind, such an outcome was not exactly unexpected. Still, away wins are always valuable, and they performed quite well.

FC Utrecht gave the fans at their home stadium quite a show in their previous game against Fortuna Sittard, snagging a decisive 4:0 victory. The victory itself was somewhat predictable, but the first-half lead and notable lead speaks volumes about their form.

We’ve seen an admirable level of consistency from FC Twente and their goalscorers. With 5 goals spread over the last 3 matches, we can safely expect this match not to end with a nill on the scoreboard.

The visiting team are doing rather well offensively – at least as far as their latest 3 matches can tell us. They’ve scored more than 5 times in total over the course of these games.

FC Twente are definitely one of the season’s title challengers. We’re well into round 22 at this point, and they’re just 15 points behind the current table leaders. Them winning this showdown is a rather safer prediction, too.

FC Twente may be the favourites in this matchup, but they’ve yet to prove they can conclusively defeat FC Utrecht this season. They had several opportunities to do so, and all ended with a tied result.

Sunday's matchup will see both teams at full strength, free of injuries and suspensions.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet combines the best of both worlds: it’s a fairly safe bet with a high probability of success, but it also offers decent betting value. You can place it on the 888Sport priced at 2.18 odds.
