Command Analysis

Feyenoord

Current form
Before the start of the season, Feyenoord was considered a contender for the championship title, but was not the main favorite - Brian Priske team was significantly inferior to PSV in terms of player selection. In the first round, the Rotterdammers performed very poorly and currently occupy only fourth place in the table with 35 points, lagging behind third-placed Utrecht by one point, the leader PSV has already moved ahead by 10 points and it will be almost impossible to make up such a handicap. The situation was more comfortable, but in the last round, Feyenoord lost 0:3 to PSV away, suffering their second defeat of the season.

FC Utrecht

Current form
Utrecht approached the start of the season as a contender for a place in the top eight – the selection of players allowed them to count on fighting for European cups. In the first round, Ron Jans' team looks very strong and has indicated claims to a ticket to the Champions League – so far they have managed to hold on to third place. However, the competition for third place is very high and Feyenoord is one point away, with Twente and AZ nearby. The situation was less tense, but in the last round Utrecht unexpectedly lost 2:5 to Fortuna, suffering their third defeat of the season.
Disqualifications and injuries
Didden is injured. Viergever is disqualified.

- Utrecht have scored in their last 10 matches

2.19Tip and bets
Feyenoord always play openly and attack as aggressively as possible at home – in the last two home matches the Rotterdammers scored nine goals against their opponents. It is obvious that the visitors’ defense will have big problems today and they will hardly be able to play reliably. However, Utrecht also plays attacking football and has no problems with scoring goals, having scored in each of the last 10 matches – the match will certainly be productive.
We believe that the match will be productive. Betting Tip - total over three goals . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.75
Bet on the outcome
Feyenoord have already lost a lot of points and are currently only fourth in the table, but today there is a chance to return to the Champions League zone - for this they need a victory. After the defeat from PSV, the hosts will clearly have plenty of motivation, the Rotterdammers are traditionally strong on their home field, in the last five matches they have not given up a single point to Utrecht, it makes sense in such a situation to count on a confident victory for the favorite, Utrecht makes mistakes regularly and is seriously inferior in class.
