Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Out-of-sorts Almere City will look to put an end to their four-game losing run when they take on Utrecht in the Eredivisie round 15. Almere City are stuck at the bottom of the table with only six points on their account, meaning that Sunday’s clash is of big importance for the home team. Forward Baptiste Guillaume remains in the treatment room, but the 29-year-old should be the only absentee in the home team.
Ron Jans’ men, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 5-2 loss to PSV at the weekend, but given their fine away record in the new Eredivisie campaign, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the visiting team. It has to be noted that Utrecht have defeated the likes of NAC Breda, AZ Alkmaar, Groningen, Sparta Rotterdam, and NEC Nijmegen on the road this term.
Highlighted Team (Utrecht):
Established on July 1, 1970, Utrecht is a Dutch club that competes in the Eredivisie. The club was founded as a merger of VV DOS, USV Elinkwijk, and Velox, and it has to be noted that VV DOS did well to win the Eredivisie trophy back in 1958.
Utrecht, on the other hand, have yet to win the national championship, but they have lifted three KNVB Cup trophies (1984/85, 2002/03, 2003/04). Leo van Veen is leading the club’s all-time goal-scoring chart with 153 goals. Speaking of the club’s colours, they were white and red shirts when playing at home, while blue is the dominant colour of their away jersey.
Due to the hooligan clashes, Utrecht have a rivalry with Dutch giants Ajax. The games between the two clubs have always been very tense on the field. Utrecht welcome their rivals at Stadion Galgenwaard, the venue which can hold up to 23,750 people. The stadium was opened back in May 1936.
