Ajax vs Utrecht Prediction & Betting tips
Ajax and FC Utrecht face each other in this round of the KNVB Cup. Utrecht regularly showed good things in the big games this season, but the results are somewhat behind. Are you able to achieve success in Amsterdam?
Ajax:
Ajax won its competition match fairly easily last year. The rest of the football weekend, however, was not about the 4-0 victory that was booked in the Johan Cruijff Arena at PEC Zwolle, but about Quincy Promes. The attacker, who still scored against PEC, has been detained on suspicion of a serious crime. The reports from the club have so far been limited, but it is clear that Ten Hag does not have to count on him for the time being.
Back to the sporty part. Ajax has good credentials to close the calendar year as a list leader. In Europe, the Amsterdamers had to settle for the Europa League, after a disappointing third place in the group stage of the Champions League. In the draw for the sixteenth finals, the team from Amsterdam were linked to OSC Lille. “It is a strong draw, especially for a seeded team like us,” Ten Hag stated on the club website. Before the first game against the French is on the menu, however, there are still eleven domestic matches waiting, of which the first will be played on Wednesday.
FC Utrecht:
FC Utrecht is underperforming this season. The game of the Domstedelingen is often not that bad at all, except that the Utrecht players usually handle the odds very sloppily. Last Sunday, a visit to PSV was lost 2-1. This had not been necessary. From a football point of view, Utrecht was better than the Eindhoven team in large phases of the match, but again it was not finished well.
If Utrecht continues to play like Sunday in Eindhoven, it cannot be long before the results get better. In the competition, before the short winter break, duels with Fortuna Sittard, FC Emmen and AZ Alkmaar are waiting. That last game will be played the day after Boxing Day. The match was previously postponed by the KNVB to serve AZ in its European campaign. Utrecht coach Rene Hake has the option to rotate, although the question is whether he will do this. Mimoun Mahi has good papers to start, after he came on as a substitute against PSV.
