Venlo vs Utrecht Prediction & Betting tips
The left-hand rifle locker and the right-hand rider in the Eredivisie stand against each other in the cup tournament on Wednesday night. Both teams lost in the league last weekend and a defeat Wednesday will immediately put an end to the Cup Cup.
Venlo :
As a PhD student, VVV-Venlo started the season in the Eredivisie, but after the interlandbreak, it is a bit less at the Venlonians. VVV-Venlo managed to tackle twelve points in the first seven games while the last two games were lost for Maurice Steijn’s team. Last week, the Venlonians lost in their own cool with 2-5 from PSV, although that result was a bit flattered. A defeat against headline PSV is of course not so bad for the Jupiler League champion from Venlo, but last weekend it was lost to ADO The Hague. The Hagenezen seem too good to be in danger of degradation and, in that respect, a 0-2 defeat was too bad for Steijn’s team. The Hagenezen arrived in Limburg in the 66th minute and finally managed to decide on the game in the final phase.
A victory Wednesday evening at FC Utrecht is therefore very welcome in Venlo, although the Venlonians will naturally rather win Heracles Almelo next Saturday. The chance that the Venlonians will actually continue a few more rounds in the KNVB Cup is of course very small, let alone the chance that VVV-Venlo will get the final in De Kuip. However, Sparta showed last season that a degradation candidate can also kick the semi-finals in the Cup, but in Venlo, the competition is of course the priority.
Utrecht :
FC Utrecht shows a lot less stable this season than last season. Last season, the Utrechters were almost untouchable and did not make any subtopper to come to the Utrechters. This season, therefore, is different and the Domestic players are ranked in the rankings that a team like Vitesse has five points ahead of FC Utrecht and Domstedelingen have to add all sails this season to keep them in fourth place. That does not work if the Domestic players continue to lose competitions against competitors, like last weekend in Alkmaar. In the AFAS Stadium, Erik van Hag took a 3-0 lead against half a Alkmaar youth team. It was not the first defeat for the Domstedelingen, because this season also lost 2-1 from FC Groningen and 4-0 from FC Twente.
It is quite nice for FC Utrecht that they can recover the defeat in Alkmaar on Wednesday evening, but then there must be won in Venlo. Both Ajax and PSV had a great deal of trouble in De Koel, so the Domestic people could water their chest. The Utrechters lost 3-0 in Alkmaar and Ten Hag showed off after the match where the problem was with his selection. “It’s all about it. In advance we already knew: whoever wants to win will win. That was AZ. We made it happen and lost deserved, “said the FC Utrecht coach. In addition to the defeat against AZ, Ten Hag and FC Utrecht in Alkmaar suffered an injury for PSG league Jean-Christophe Bahebeck was injured and is out of the run for the time being. With Cyriel Dessers, FC Utrecht has, of course, already replaced a substitute for Bahebeck and the Belgian was already very important for NAC Breda in Venlo – NAC Breda in March with 0-4 of VVV-Venlo and Dessers was important with two hits and an assist. Besides, Ten Hag may also choose to play Gyrano Church instead of Desser, because also Church made the necessary minute this season.
