Excelsior Utrecht betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 12^th position of the league, with 19 points won, after 4 wins, 7 draws and 7 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in an away match against Vitesse, by (0‑0). In the last match, they tied in a home match against PSV, by (1‑1). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since they have won 11 points in away matches and 8 at their stadium, with 11 goals scored and 18 conceded at home, against 7 goals scored and 9 conceded in away matches. In the last 9 away league matches Utrecht has a record of 3 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses, so they have won 11 points out of 27 possible.

In this competition, they haven’t lost any of the last 9 matches. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (4 out of 9 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 6 of the last 9 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 18 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 10 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Despite a series of draws, Utrecht has understood that this is crucial for their ambitions in the Dutch league. Seeking to distance themselves from the dangerous zone in the standings, it's important for the team to continue with this approach on the field. The coaching staff must field the best players in this away clash against Excelsior.
