On Sunday afternoon, Feyenoord and Utrecht clash at Stadion Feijenoord in Eredivisie as the home team looks to keep their slim title hopes alive.
Feyenoord need to keep winning to keep title hopes aliveDespite some decent recent form in the Eredivisie, Feyenoord are outsiders for the title, as the team from Rotterdam are currently ten points adrift of league leaders PSV Eindhoven.
A 3-2 win at Heerenveen means that Arne Slot’s team is unbeaten in 12 games, having recorded nine wins and three draws.
One of the main reasons for Feyenoord’s recent strong form has been their attack, as the reigning Dutch champions have scored at least two goals in five of their last six league matches.
Feyenoord is unbeaten in their last six home games in the Eredivisie, having also recorded three straight league wins on home soil. Slot’s team has been strong in defence in the Eredivisie at home, having kept four straight clean sheets.
Utrecht looking to consolidate top-eight spotThe visitors are currently in eighth place in the table in the last Europa Conference League play-off spot.
Utrecht’s recent Eredivisie form has been solid, as they have won five of their last seven games.
Their recent matches in the Dutch top flight have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in their last five games in the Eredivisie.
Utrecht have had an inconsistent recent away record in the Dutch top flight. They have won just one of their last five away games in the Eredivisie.
However, on the flip side, the visitors have also lost just once in their previous eight away games in the Eredivisie.
Their recent away games in the Dutch top flight have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in eight of their last nine matches.
What am I backing?Feyenoord are formidable on home soil, and the bet I am backing is the home victory.
