Sparta Rotterdam - FC Utrecht betting tips and odds

Sparta Rotterdam are not exactly firm favourites to register three points in this game but we still believe they will manage to defeat FC Utrecht. The odds of 2.40 might sound a bit risky but we still trust hosts can come out on top in the end.

The visiting team is fully aware of the challenge that lies ahead. A win against Sparta Rotterdam on their home field would be a significant achievement, and it is never an easy task.

Sparta Rotterdam won their previous Eredivisie matchup with a decisive 1:4 after spending most of the game ahead. Although top bookies named them 3.10 favourites, the goal difference and HT/FT away win were above most expectations.

FC Utrecht failed to snag a decisive victory in the previous round’s home game against Excelsior 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 2:2.

The hosts are here after a series of home games marked by a high concession rate. For instance, they yielded more than 5 goals over the previous 3 matches at Sparta-Stadion Het Kasteel.

FC Utrecht’s defensive line has been a source of frustration for their fans in recent outings. Their previous 3 home games were marked by 6 conceded goals, and betting predictions are suggesting Over markets.

This season’s Eredivisie campaign got off to a rocky start for FC Utrecht, who are currently dangerously close to the relegation zone. As such, the fact that they’re likely to lose this showdown is quite concerning. Luckily, most of the season is still ahead, leaving plenty of room to chase a better outcome.

The away win recorded several decisive victories against Sparta Rotterdam last season. To make things even more interesting, none of these games was even a close call and all were secured with a considerable goal difference. It appears bookies are still adamant that Sparta Rotterdam are more likely to win this match, though.

The odds being what they are, remember that they were priced with various injuries in mind. The hosts reported that Mike Eerdhuijzen, Koki Saito, Pelle Clement, Sergi Rosanas will have to sit this one out, while FC Utrecht will have to make do without Mike Van der Hoorn, Taylor Booth, Anthony Descotte, Ole Romeny.

There’s nothing quite worse than losing a wager to a surprise draw, which is a distinct possibility in this matchup. Nonetheless, our solution is to simply go for a Draw No Bet market for a Home Win – an excellent chance of success, plus decent value with the odds set at 1.55.
