FC Utrecht - Go Ahead Eagles predictions

We don’t expect FC Utrecht to have any issues beating Go Ahead Eagles. The hosts are largely favoured by all the top bookmakers online and 1.78 might actually be a good-value bet to consider. The visitors are not to be underestimated but on this particular instance the home side are seen as clear winners.

The visitors would need to pull off quite a stunt in order to come out victorious. They are severely outmatched in this outing – the 4.53 away win odds alone should speak volumes.

The Sunday clash is a great chance for FC Utrecht to extend their fine form displayed in the previous Eredivisie clash. The hosts will be highly motivated following a slim SC Heerenveen triumph which had them leading both at halftime and after the final whistle.

Go Ahead Eagles failed to snag a decisive victory in the previous round’s home game against Almere City despite the favourable betting odds and home-field advantage. Records show that the two teams were largely neck-to-neck throughout the showdown, which ended in a rather disappointing 1:1.

FC Utrecht have been struggling to keep the ball out of their net lately. For instance, their previous 3 Eredivisie matches were marked by more than 5 goals conceded in total.

Go Ahead Eagles are performing rather sub-par whenever they play away. For instance, they have more than 5 conceded goals spread over their most recent 3 away games.

FC Utrecht played as the visitors the last time they participated in this showdown, but they managed to win anyway. As such, it’s quite clear why they’re the favourites this Sunday, even though the victory was with a one-goal difference.

Quite a long list of injuries for the hosts. Taylor Booth, Tim Handwerker, Hidde ter Avest, Jeppe Okkels, Niclas Vesterlund, Marouan Azarkan, Ole Romeny, Anthony Descotte will all be absent for this match. Even though the betting odds consider them favourites, it’s important to remember that a good part of their regular roster is out of contention.

If you’re feeling confident, a Draw/Home wager in the Half Time/Full Time market is the way to go. It’s a fairly risky move, but likely the best way to get some value out of the match this Sunday.
