Sparta Rotterdam - FC Utrecht betting tips and odds

Sparta Rotterdam have their work cut out for them if they want to beat FC Utrecht. They are widely considered to be the weaker team – though the difference is not huge, to be fair. Overall, it’s shaping up to be an exciting showdown.

The visitors are well aware of the challenge ahead of them. To defeat Sparta Rotterdam on their home field would be a significant achievement, and it is never an easy undertaking.

Although Sparta Rotterdam are coming on the back of a harsh 4:0 loss, it would be rather unfair to judge them purely on that performance. They were playing an away game in an extremely difficult matchup against Ajax , so they spent most of the match trailing behind.

FC Utrecht’s previous round was a home match against PSV which ended in a draw. The scores were equal at half-time as well, which was quite surprising given the 3.60 odds on a home win.

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.

We already saw these two teams clash this season, and FC Utrecht carried off a narrow home win. The roles are reversed this time, however, and the betting odds are marking Sparta Rotterdam as somewhat more likely to win.

A Home Win at the odds of 2.50 is the most likely outcome here with decent value and a strong probability of success. This doesn’t seem like a good opportunity to take unnecessary risks.
