1.80Tip and bets
The visitors are far superior to the hosts in terms of the level of players and are unlikely to miss the chance to break away from their competitors even further. PSV played their last matches at the highest level, simply not noticing their opponents on their way, and a brilliant comeback in the Champions League will further inspire the players of the club from Eindhoven. We believe that PSV will win confidently.
Our forecast is Asian handicap (-1) on PSV for 1.78
Bet on total
The visitors are by far the most productive team in the championship. For example, the hosts have scored more than twice as many goals. PSV will probably choose an attacking style of play this time and impose a high-speed game on their opponents. It is unlikely that Utrecht will be able to fight off the attacking onslaught of the favorites, so it is worth betting on a high-scoring match.
Our prediction is total over three goals for 1.87
Bet on corners
Since the game is expected to be played on opposite courses, it is logical to choose different over totals for bets. In the additional bet, we will stop at the fact that a considerable number of flank attacks will lead to the fact that the opponents will be able to break through a decent number of passes from the corner flag for both. We will make another bet on the over total for them.
Our prediction is total over 9.5 corners for 1.54
