Utrecht vs Den Haag Prediction & Betting tips
Utrecht :
FC Utrecht is rightfully the number four in the Netherlands. The Utrecht lost since mid-September only three games, all against the traditional top-3. The start of the second half of the season has been particularly strong. Besides the defeats against Ajax and PSV was merely had won, counted out the painful cup elimination against Cambuur. Last week, visiting FC Groningen looked not look good. At halftime were the Domstedelingen up 2-0, but thanks to a strong second half did the team of Erik ten Hag the backlog yet to bow in a 2-3 victory. The Groningen kept the visitors in the game by leaving the 3-0 and later to make it 3-1.
The goals were scored by Sébastien Haller, Giovanni Troupée and Yassin Ayoub. Ten Hag was glad just a midfielder as Ayoub led to the winning goal. “We’ve talked to him about it, he needs to work on his focus,” Ten Hag said afterwards. “That’s why I’m so happy for him Yassin today gave an assist and a goal. There should anyway go get more goals and more depth to our midfield. “Ten Hag acknowledged that the first half was not ‘of Utrecht. Ten Hag: “We played a lousy first half. I saw an unrecognizable FC Utrecht, we did everything we had agreed. Then you get some first half and you are halfway dikverdiend 2-0. Or when I wanted to intervene? Actually, but I did not. I was wondering if the team was in a position to fight in the game or help from outside was needed. That was apparently so, because we have just put the finishing touches on the i in the rest. ”
Injuries the Utrecht play tricks on all season. Edson Braafheid only played two games this season after he sustained an Achilles tendon injury. The defender is still on the side. In late November Robbin Ruiter broke his shoulder while Rico Strieder later suffered a serious knee injury. Strieder’s replacement Wout Brama then also became injured. Brama has been restored, but now Patrick Joosten is long out of circulation. The striker tore a ligament and can put a line through the rest of his season. Sunday against ADO plays Ten Hag with the same team as the second half against FC Utrecht. In other words, Mark van der Maarel is replaced by Wout Brama.

Den Haag :
ADO Den Haag has to go ten matches to try to avoid immediate relegation. It also does not have to be worse than it is, because a few victories are enough to play you as well as safe. Still trailing on the safe fifteenth position is after all but two points. The problem is that there is little perspective is in the Hague. Where direct competitors like Go Ahead Eagles and Sparta here and there hold their spots, there succeeds much less ADO. After the first six games were lost after the winter break, was there last week finally celebrate a tip. The home match against FC Twente on both sides is not good, so 1-1 was a fair result.
A draw tap not really, but Fons Groenendijk was still pretty happy with the point. “This club has a whole series of duels lost consecutively. The trust was gone, we are working to get it back slowly but surely. You start with little give away and from there try to take the initiative. That’s pretty well, “replied the coach, who will see a point as a building block. “The confidence that we last week against Feyenoord have tanked as well. It is a difficult task, but not impossible. I’m sure we will still come in all races can get a result. ”
This week Tom Beugelsdijk got into trouble because of a French move to Twente defender Andersen. On the basis of TV images, he was suspended for two games. ADO appealed, so he simply could play Sunday. The case even has until March 14th. Groenendijk holds therefore stick to the same starting line, because striker Mike Havenaar has not yet been deployed. ‘Mike is in the final stages of his recovery. If you relegation play football you have to be fit, so I choose to coach for Fernandez, “explained. There are little doubts about the names of Aaron Meijers and Wilfried Kanon, since they had to cancel the Friday practice prematurely.
Probable lineup ADO Den Haag
Zwinkels; Meijers cannon Beugelsdijk, Ebuehi; Gorter, Baker, Malone; Duplan, Fernandez, chess
