Prediction: 1-1
Utrecht
De Adelaarshorst will host Sunday’s football game between Go Ahead Eagles and Utrecht, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. Go Ahead Eagles are sitting in 5th place in the standings and they have been having their ups and downs of late. Rene Hake’s troops have already recorded five wins at home this term, but this games will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Utrecht, on the other hand, came from behind to share the spoils with AZ Alkmaar in their last league match. Ron Jans’ men, on the other hand, are undefeated in the previous six league matches. In their last meeting at the venue the two teams played out a 2-2 draw and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. Defender Mike van der Hoorn misses out with injury, while midfielder Anthony Descotte faces race against the clock to be fit for Sunday’s encounter.
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.
