1.70Tip and bets
Utrecht are not showing anything out of the ordinary and are statistically inferior to many teams in the Dutch championship. But this does not matter if the main thing is the result. As a rule, the hosts play well at home against teams that are at least slightly inferior in class. The upcoming opponent is one of them, so we will bet on Go Ahead Eagles continuing their unsuccessful away performances and suffering another fiasco.
Our prediction is a victory for Utrecht with odds of 1.95
Bet on total
Both teams spare no effort in attacking and give their all in every match. This is also indicated by the statistics of face-to-face confrontations, in which both the hosts and the guests managed to score in four of the last five matches. Based on this, we will place the second bet on both teams being able to score.
Prediction: Both teams to score with odds of 1.63
Bet on corners
Over the last year, the teams have played each other three times, and in all these matches, 35 corners were taken (almost 12 per game). Based on this, we conclude that ten corner kicks will be taken without any problems.
Forecast - total over 9.5 corners with odds of 1.71
