2.27Tip and bets
De Graafschap has been slowing down lately – they have lost three matches in a row in the championship and have been knocked out of the Cup. However, it is hardly worth talking about a full-fledged crisis and in a confrontation with one of the main outsiders of the championship the visitors will clearly bet only on victory. Jong Utrecht is obviously inferior in terms of player selection, and in general throughout the season they do not look very confident, De Graafschap should not have problems in a duel with such an opponent.
