A Sports Betting Pick by ArmchairPunter
Football : Netherlands: Eredivisie
Venue: De Grolsch Veste
Sunday 18th February 2024, 1115hrs
Twente will be seeking to collect a third league win on the trot in the Dutch top flight on Sunday morning when they entertain Utrecht at their De Grolsch Veste as the hosts have previously posted back-to-back wins against RKC Waalwijk 3-0 at home then followed that up with another 3-0 victory away at Excelsior.
The bigger picture shows Twente have suffered just three defeats throughout the whole of this Eredivisie campaign, two of which were inflicted upon Joseph Oosting’s side on their travels with losses incurred at RKC Waalwijk and NEC but results on home soil have remained impressive.
Twente have suffered just the one defeat at home all season and have collected no fewer than eight wins within their 10 home games to date amidst an overall home record of 8-1-1 22/12 where Twente have scored 2 goals or more in seven of these 10 games.
After making an inauspicious start to this Eredivisie season which resulted in seven defeats and only one win from their opening eight league games, Utrecht have produced a solid if not stubborn looking recovery in the Dutch top flight as the visitors bring a 13-game unbeaten sequence into this clash.
Five wins and eight draws make up this 13-match unbeaten sequence and three of the five wins were recorded on home soil at their Stadion Galgenwaard with wins against Ajax, Volendam and Fortuna Sittard respectively.
The visitors also bring a five-match unbeaten run on the road into Sunday morning’s clash which includes wins gained at Sparta Rotterdam and Go Ahead Eagles but the bigger picture shows Utrecht have managed to capture just three wins from their last 12 outings on the road, slipping to six defeats in the process.
The Betting Verdict
Twente have won the last two meetings on the trot at home against Utrecht and the hosts look the more likely to take the spoils in this one too.
The Pick :
Twente 2-0 Utrecht
