Sparta Rotterdam - FC Utrecht predictions

The visitors understand the difficulty of the task at hand. To beat Sparta Rotterdam on their own turf would be a major feat, and it is always a tough challenge.

FC Utrecht are heading into what’s surely be a challenge. Sparta Rotterdam are not to be taken lightly and an away victory would certainly be a big success for the visitors.

Sparta Rotterdam’s painful defeat in their previous away match could have been seen from a mile away. They were facing PSV as visitors, so betting predictions never gave them much of a shot. The home team took an early lead which culminated in a 6:1 loss for Sparta Rotterdam.

FC Utrecht are coming on the back of a 4:0 victory in their most recent Eredivisie game. They were the hosts in that instance, though, and the matchup against Heracles was largely favourable as well. In other words – they performed as well as could be expected, but the triumph itself was nothing extraordinary.

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.

These two squads met in the previous season of the Eredivisie, and the results were quite conclusive. FC Utrecht won with a heft goal difference, which is partly why they’re considered the favourites even though they’re playing an away game.

The absence of injuries or suspensions means both teams will have their full lineups at their disposal for a thrilling matchup.

A Double Chance wager on Home or Draw is probably the smartest way of going about things in this particular matchup. It’s still somewhat risky but should provide enough value at the odds of 1.50.
