FC Utrecht - NEC predictions

Kickoff starts at 14:30 on 17/03/2024 played @ Stadion Galgenwaard refereed by Danny Desmond Makkelie

With bookies pricing a home win at 1.95, it’s clear the match may yet go either way. The hosts have a distinct advantage, of course, but both a draw and an away win are quite possible outcomes.

It’s highly unlikely that NEC will manage to get some points this round. FC Utrecht are at a considerable advantage, so even a draw would be a success for the visitors.

FC Utrecht supporters had reasons to feel optimistic last round even though the team was playing away, but that game didn’t quite pan out. The two teams were tied at both halftime and the final whistle, marking a rather unremarkable 1:1 draw.

The away team’s previous home matchup against SC Heerenveen was not an easy one, but they decisively won in the end. It’s worth noting that the $RESULT goal difference was built up entirely in the second half.

FC Utrecht’s attackers don’t seem to need a home-field advantage when it comes to scoring. With 9 goals in their last three away games, it’s hard to find issues with their attacking play.

The away team’s previous three away games left a lot to be desired when it comes to how they perform defensively. Over 5 conceded goals in just 3 matches is never a good look, even if you’re playing as visitors.

Though a home win is priced at 1.95, the hosts lost their most recent game against NEC. The two teams played earlier in the season, though FC Utrecht were the visitors and the goal difference was quite narrow.

The hosts may be favourites to win the match, but their lineup is in a somewhat weakened state. Tim Handwerker, Jeppe Okkels, Ole Romeny, Anthony Descotte are all sidelined due to injury, which makes FC Utrecht’s position as favourites a bit shakier than it might seem.

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 2.16 odds.
