Go Ahead Eagles - FC Utrecht betting tips and odds

While Go Ahead Eagles winning is still technically possible, we wouldn’t hold our breath. They are severely outmatched compared to FC Utrecht, so even a draw result would be quite surprising.

Even with the home-field advantage as a factor, FC Utrecht have a better chance of winning this clash than their opponents. They can’t afford to relax just yet though – the hosts may prove a tough nut to crack after all.

Go Ahead Eagles’s narrow home win in the last round (2:1) was a major upset. The balance of power was completely in favour of their opponents, Ajax , yet Go Ahead Eagles took the lead in the first half. They walked away with 3 points no one expected.

FC Utrecht are coming off from a relatively easy 1:2 victory in the previous round against SC Heerenveen. Fans were hoping for more decisiveness after the lukewarm first half – which they delivered for a 1:2 away win.

Looking over the home team’s recent record, we can see a worrying trend. They’ve conceded more than 5 goals over the past 3 matches alone, indicating problems in their defensive lineup.

The most relevant bit of history we have for FC Utrecht is their high concession rate at recent home games. After more than 5 goals conceded in 3 games, their fans have warranted concerns over the squad’s defensive performance.

FC Utrecht played against Go Ahead Eagles earlier in the season and were unable to get anything better than a draw despite the home-field advantage. They’re not on their turf this time around, but that doesn’t change the fact that most bookies see them as the favourites.

This match is a bit tough to find value in, so you’ll need to be willing to take a risk. An HT/FT Draw/Away bet at odds of 4.60 is not exactly probable, but it’s clearly the best offer in terms of value.
