Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
All eyes will be on Stadion Galgenwaard when Utrecht and Twente face each other in a highly-anticipated Eredivisie game. Utrecht are eyeing their third win of the process and they must be high on confidence following a 2-1 triumph over NAC Breda. Talented forward Noah Ohio is widely expected to return to the starting XI after scoring a brace in the last league match, while both Niklas Vesterlund and Kevin Gadellaa are major doubts.
The Reds, on the other hand, head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Sparta Rotterdam. As Twente often struggle on the travels, we do not believe that they are capable of grabbing more than one point from Sunday’s matinee. Midfielder Michal Sadilek is a major doubt and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off. You should bear in mind that under 2.5 goals have been netted in each of the previous six meetings between the two sides.
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.
