FC Utrecht - Vitesse betting tips and odds

Though FC Utrecht are more likely to win this, an away win would only be slightly surprising. It’s a relatively balanced matchup, which usually means we’ll see some exciting football.

It would be a minor miracle for Vitesse to win at FC Utrecht, and they’re likely aware of that. Though risky, such an outcome could bring solid profits thanks to the 4.20 price on most online sportsbooks.

The hosts are coming on the back of a narrow victory in the last round’s away game. Most bookies gave them a slight edge over their opponents Fortuna Sittard even though they played away. They won through a goal in the second half after spending most of the match neck-to-neck.

FC Groningen were tagged as favourites in Vitesse’s away game in the previous round, but Vitesse prevailed in the end. The first half ended inconclusively, but they managed to come out on top and win 0:1.

FC Utrecht have been struggling to keep the ball out of their net lately. For instance, their previous 3 Eredivisie matches were marked by more than 5 goals conceded in total.

The away team’s defensive record is slipping. They’ve conceded more than 5 times in their previous 3 Eredivisie engagements. This, at least, points to this match as a decent choice for something like an Over 5 Goals bet.

As far as any head-to-head stats are concerned, examples of recent clashes include a decisive victory FC Utrecht secured last season. They walked away with a considerable goal advantage, which is in line with their current position as favourites.

With Tommy St Jago, Arthur Zagre, Sander van de Streek, Bart Ramselaar, Mike Van der Hoorn, Ramon Hendriks all out of the picture, FC Utrecht’s lineup is in shambles. The odds may favour them though but we still advise some caution.

An Over 3.5 Goals wager here can net you considerably better results than the Over 2.5 counterpart, and the probability of winning remains almost as strong. The 2.20 odds offered at 10Bet are great for value, too.
