Maastricht vs Jong Utrecht Prediction & Betting tips
MVV Maastricht is experiencing a dramatic season and won bivouacs in the basement of professional football. Young FC Utrecht will visit the Geusselt on Friday evening.
MVV:
For MVV, the season seems to have started in early December. This season it is not yet possible to relegate from the Kitchen Champion Division and that is fortunate for the people of Maastricht. After seventeen games, the team of coach Fuat Usta is in seventeenth place, with only fifteen points. Prior to the season, reaching the play-offs was the objective for the Star Carriers, but the team’s performance will have to increase drastically if MVV is to claim anything. The gap to the last play-off spot is already nine points and gets bigger every week.
Last week against NAC was the tenth defeat of the season ago. The image of the game was, as is often the case this season: the people of Maastricht are happy to participate in parts of the game, but lack sharpness for the goal. In Breda, too, large target chances were destroyed by Thijmen Goppel and Joeri Schroijen. NAC benefited optimally through an easily given penalty kick that was utilized by Huseyin Dogan and a counter that was completed by Luka Ilic.
By the way, MVV has performed well in its own Geusselt in recent weeks. The last home defeat dates back to September 27 against Young Ajax. In the four following games, the team from Maastricht were left without a defeat: leader Cambuur Leeuwarden and Excelsior were cleverly kept at 0-0, while Almere City (3-2) and TOP Oss (4-0) were beaten.
Young FC Utrecht:
Jong FC Utrecht has been one of the ugly ducks of the Kitchen Champion Division in recent years, but this year the Utrecht U21s experience the best season since joining professional football in 2017. In the previous three season, Young FC Utrecht finished seventeenth in succession , twentieth and nineteenth, but this year we find the team back in ninth place. Under the leadership of René Hake, seven games have already been won, two more than last year, when only five times were won in the entire season.
The start of the season was particularly impressive. The Utrecht team lost only two of the first ten league games and were in the top five of the ranking for a long time. After that, the team remained five games without a win, until again excellent results were booked against Young AZ (2-1) and NEC (0-0). Last Monday, Young FC Utrecht again recorded a great win over Zoudenbalch against Almere City. The game ended in 3-1 with goals from Vaclav Cerny, Issa Abass and Odysseus Velanas. It was striking that the honorary hit of Almere City in injury time was made by Nick Venema, who is under contract with FC Utrecht and is top scorer of all time at Young FC Utrecht.
