LiontipsUtrecht - AZ. Betting Tip (odds 2.39) and bets on the match of the Dutch championship
Command Analysis
Current form
Before the start of the season, Utrecht was among the obvious contenders for a ticket to the European Cups, but at the same time, before the start of the championship, there was hardly a bet on finishing in the top three and a ticket to the Champions League. In the first round, Ron Jans team looks very strong and has held third place for a long time, but at the same time, it is only four points ahead of fourth-placed Feyenoord. Just recently, the advantage was minimal, but a 2:1 victory over the Rotterdam team in a face-to-face meeting in the last round provided Utrecht with a fairly comfortable advantage.
Disqualifications and injuries
Barkas and Ohio were injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Utrecht have won three of their last four matches
- Utrecht have not lost to AZ in their last five matches – one win and four draws
Probable line-up: Brouwer - Nielsen, Horemans, Van der Hoorn, El-Karouani - Toornstra, Iqbal, Rodriguez, Aaronson, Katlin - Min.
Current form
AZ definitely set the goal of fighting for third place and a ticket to the Champions League this season – the cheese farmers were quite capable of competing with Ajax, Twente and Utrecht. However, in the first round, Maarten Maartens' team made many mistakes and currently occupies only sixth place in the table. However, there is a modest gap of six points from third-placed Utrecht, which there is a chance to reduce today. In the last round, AZ was close to beating PSV (2:2), but allowed the opponent to come back at the end.
Disqualifications and injuries
Westerveld is injured.
Interesting trends for betting
