Utrecht take on the visitors Sittard in the round 24 match of Dutch Eredivisie. The match will be played on Friday, February 3rd at Stadion Galgenwaard (Utrecht).
Utrecht are a strong mid-table team in Dutch football and regularly competes for European positions. They are currently in 7th place, accumulating points actively and looking great in attack! They drew 2-2 with PSV a couple of rounds ago and had a crazy 5-5 draw with AZ not too long ago. The team has already scored 38 goals in 23 matches, which is quite impressive considering that Utrecht is not a top team in the league. Bookmakers are actively favoring Utrecht in this match, and it is reasonable to bet on a Utrecht victory. However, I prefer a bet on the home team's scoring performance, as it is quite stable, and Fortuna, who will come to visit Utrecht, clearly has problems with defense.

Fortuna Sittard are always fighting for survival in the top division, but this season, the situation for the team is slightly better, and they are comfortably holding an 8-point lead over the relegation zone. The upcoming match will not be easy for the visitors as the opponent is strong and not willing to give away points easily. There have been 40 goals in 23 league matches involving Fortuna, and Utrecht scored 4 goals against them in the first round of the league. Therefore, it can be assumed that the upcoming match will bring significant defensive problems for Fortuna, and Utrecht will score at least a couple of goals, possibly more.
As for the outcome of this match, it is highly probable that Utrecht will win. However, a more reliable bet would be Over 1.5 goals for Utrecht. This bet may come in already by the end of the first half. I expect Utrecht to play an attractive attacking game and score two goals as early in the match as possible.
Prediction for the match: Utrecht to score over 1.5 goals.
