FC Utrecht - FC Twente predictions

With the odds slightly in the hosts’ favour, they have a decent shot at walking away with 3 points. Still, FC Twente can pull off both a win or a draw, so the hosts can’t afford to let their guard down.

The visiting team understands the difficulty of the task that lies ahead. A win against FC Utrecht on their own field would be a major feat, and it is always a tough endeavor.

FC Utrecht fans expected more of the team than they offered last week. Recording a draw in an away game seems decent on paper, but it’s important to remember that they were still seen as the favourites with most online bookmakers. To make matters worse, they had a lead at halftime, but their opponents Go Ahead Eagles equalized before the final whistle.

The away team had the advantage of playing at home in the previous round, but their opponents AZ Alkmaar were still a tough nut to crack. It took them more than half the game to get a leg up, but FC Twente eventually pulled through for a narrow 1:0 win.

The home team’s tendency to see their defence crumble under the pressure of away games is worrying – they conceded more than 5 times over the previous 3 away games. The fact that they’re at Stadion Galgenwaard this Sunday makes things easier for them, but not by a lot.

The previous two matches FC Twente played at home ended without much excitement. Neither featured more than a single goal.

Even though FC Utrecht are the favourites to win this showdown, they’ve been known to have issues fighting FC Twente in the past. For instance, they lost this matchup quite badly last season.

Sunday's match will see both teams at full strength, able to utilize all their players.

The risks involved in backing a BTTS bet for this match are minimal. Both FC Utrecht and FC Twente have a history of confirming the market so the 1 odds offered at 1xbet is too good to pass up.
