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 are coming on the back of a hard 2:0 loss against SC Heerenveen in the previous round. Experts gave their opponents a slight edge which, combined with home-field disadvantage, ended in a surprising 2:0.

FC Utrecht’s defeat in their previous home game was painful due to the crushing 0:2 final score, but it doesn’t mean they won’t perform better in round 11. They were up against Feyenoord, who were considered hard favourites and took the lead early.

Experts have pointed at Sparta Rotterdam’s defence as their biggest issue at the moment. They conceded 6 goals over the last 3 Eredivisie games.

FC Utrecht may need more consistency in their defense if they want to get anywhere. They have more than 5 conceded goals over their 3 most recent home games, for instance.

Sparta Rotterdam are currently 11th on the Eredivisie table, which is uncomfortably close to the relegation zone. Although the match this Sunday will not be easy, there’s plenty of room to make changes in the future.

While few can complain about the performances we’ve seen from FC Utrecht so far, we’re only at round 11. They will have to face fierce opposition to keep their table position at number 3rd, starting with a challenging game this Sunday.

You can safely put down an Over 2.5 Goals bet on this match and feel very confident. If the teams’ records are any indication, 3 or more goals in this match are almost guaranteed.
