Excelsior vs Utrecht Prediction & Betting tips
The midweek round of the Eredivisie is Tuesday kicked off by Excelsior and FC Utrecht. The Kralingers are four games unbeaten, but they are anything but safe. FC Utrecht recorded a colorless win over Willem II. Can Excelsior Tuesday again a step towards self-preservation?
Excelsior :
A point at PEC Zwolle is a result that they can live well with Excelsior. Based on the first half hour Excelsior was lucky the scoreline 1-0 was limited. In the remaining time for rest of the team played Mitchell van der Gaag not necessarily better, but they did come back into the game with a goal from Luigi Bruins. With a little more luck the Rotterdam had even been ahead, but Stanley Elbers hit the crossbar. In the second half both teams had chances to score the winning goal, but it remained 1-1.
Van der Gaag acknowledged that the play of his team was not good in the first half. “I am pleased that a game lasts about 90 minutes and not 25, 30 minutes. Nothing of what we agreed was reflected in the first half hour. Of course, that to do with the ball, but that was us. Possession we were not able to play the ball twice in the same color, “said the coach after the match. Warner Hahn was in the closing stages with a significant number of rescues, but Van der Gaag Excelsior also found that just might win. “I think we finally have the best chances of itself.”
These are busy times for Excelsior, because with Sparta on Friday there are three games in six days on the program. Van der Gaag finds it a strange choice of the league, while fellow Pastor suggested that the compiler of the league schedule must have been drunk. “I really wonder if it is necessary to plan a midweek program at this stage,” Van der Gaag responded. Excelsior has no suspensions and relatively injury free. Normally will appear the same eleven names on the scoresheet.
Probable lineup Excelsior
Hahn; Karami, Mattheij, The Wise, Massop; Faik, Fredy, Koolwijk; Elbers, Van Duinen, Bruins
Utrecht :
FC Utrecht puts in a good shape, sparkle but do not want it really. Now the team of Erik ten Hag made no mistake against lesser quality opponents as Willem II, where a few weeks ago went wrong against ADO, but it was not a victory that will linger long in the memory. FC Utrecht seemed much of the second half to finish perfunctory, even though the margin was only one goal. Sébastien Haller led to an early 1-0 and the opponent from Tilburg could hardly be imminent. The ‘lazy’ by the home side they did not cost dearly, because in the final stage made substitute Richairo Zivkovic 2-0.
It would be extremely strange FC Utrecht wants fourth place not pull over. Moreover the Utrecht have passed the point of closest rival AZ lost a lead of five points and the team Ten Hag makes a stable impression. It is important that they are now rewarding jobs for a strong season, because last year ran through the league, the cup and the playoffs miss European football. “We want to finish as high as possible. This gives the club some on, in the form of TV rights and status. High end is good for the club and the players, “said the coach.
Rico Strieder long-term injuries and Patrick Joosten will not return this season, but after recovering from an injury can Robbin Ruiter and Edson Braafheid still’ve grabbed the end of the competition. Rider again sitting on the couch and Braafheid is training with the group, but should still get match fitness. Robin van der Meer, which is injuring his shoulder, and Sofyan Amrabat (suspended) are to Excelsior-out to let go by.
