Utrecht vs Telstar Prediction

Utreg saw their unbeaten streak in the league end after seven games last week and will look to bounce back in this home game. They have scored at least two goals in four of their last five league games, while also keeping four clean sheets in that period.

Dani de Wit is back from a suspension and should return to the starting XI. Mike Eerdhuijzen, Victor Jensen, and Miguel Rodríguez will miss this match due to injuries. Sébastien Haller is likely to start from the bench again.

De Witte Leeuwen failed to score for the second time in three games last week and will look to improve upon that record. Nonetheless, they have scored in all but one of their last eight away games.

Adil Lechkar is expected to be the only absentee for the visitors here.

Considering the Utreg’s better attacking and defensive record than the visitors, we back them to secure a win.

Prediction: Utrecht 2-1 Telstar
