Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Utrecht
Match Time & Date:

16:30
Prediction: 2-0
Cambuur
Utrecht will look to build on a thrilling 3-0 win over Sparta Rotterdam when they take on Cambuur at Stadion Galgenwaard on Saturday afternoon. Utrecht are eyeing a place in European competitions, and a win over Cambuur will see them stay in the Conference League playoffs berth. Naoki Maeda misses out with injury, while Tommy St. Jago is a major doubt. Sander van de Streek is widely expected to lead the line for the hosts.
The Yellow-Blues, on the other hand, have drawn each of their last three league fixtures. Cambuur have yet to record a win in 2022, and seeing that Utrecht are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we are tempted to put our money on Rene Hake’s troops. Both Sambissa and Kallon are back from international duty for the visiting side after the duo represented Sierra Leone and Gabon respectively at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.
Highlighted Player (Willem Janssen):
After starting his senior career at VVV-Venlo, Willem Janssen joined fellow Dutch club Roda JC in 2007. The 186-cm-tall centre-back scored 22 goals in 129 appearances for the Black and Yellows in the Eredivisie, and in 2011 he moved to Twente.
After ending his loan spell with Utrecht in 2014, he signed a permanent deal with the Stadion Galgenwaard outfit, and he has been playing for the club ever since. He scored his first league goal for Utrecht in a 1-1 draw with Zwolle on September 1, 2013. Willem Janseen was born in Nijmegen, Netherlands on July 4, 1986, but he has yet to earn a call-up for the national team. Janssen, though, has two caps with the Netherlands U21 team.
His main position is centre-back, but he is used as both defensive midfielder and central midfielder as well. His preferred foot is right. In the 2015/16 season he helped Utrecht make it to the Dutch Cup final, but Feyenoord proved to be a big catch for them in the title game.
