NEC - FC Utrecht betting tips and odds

The visitors are aware of the challenge that awaits them. To come out on top against NEC on their own field would be a major achievement, and it is always a tough task.

The visiting team knows that beating NEC on their own turf will be a major accomplishment, and it is always a formidable challenge.

The last round brought a very good result overall for NEC. They took a difficult Eredivisie trip and managed to go against all odds in order to record an important PSV away draw.

FC Utrecht are largely content with the draw they secured in the previous round, though neither team really got a chance to shine in that showdown. Playing an unfavourable away matchup against Heracles, they kept the score tied throughout most of the runtime.

The previous 3 times we saw NEC play at home were marked by more than 5 goals from them. The visitors will need to be careful if they want to avoid conceding a lot of goals.

Results and standings notwithstanding, FC Utrecht have run into some defensive issues in this stretch of the Eredivisie. In the past 3 matches, they allowed more than 5 goals to their opponents, which may be cause for concern for their supporters.

NEC’s start of the season left a lot to be desired, but there’s a lot of time to improve. However, their clash with FC Utrecht will not be easy by any stretch of the imagination. They’ll need a win in order to get as far away from the relegation zone as possible.

FC Utrecht are currently 15th on the Eredivisie table, just 2 points above the relegation zone. Most of the season is still ahead of us, though, which leaves plenty of room for them to climb up – or drop down, for that matter.

Records show that the previous game between NEC and FC Utrecht was a draw. That game was played in the previous season, though, so most are hoping to see something more conclusive this time around. Although NEC are on their home turf, FC Utrecht are the favourites, so both teams will be highly motivated to avoid a stalemate.

Though some punters may prefer more exciting options, the Under 3.5 Goals market is a solid opportunity for this fixture. It offers a surprisingly solid balance between risk and betting value – though the returns on their own aren’t much to look at.
