PSV vs Utrecht Predictions, Betting Tips and Match Previews

Utrecht travel to the Dutch champions this weekend aiming to keep things tight, having kept a clean sheet in 40% of their away trips so far. However, this game is unlikely to be that tight, given the scoring form which PSV are carrying in to their clash on Sunday. They’ve scored 12 times in just four league matches in 2017, which isn’t a shabby record. After hitting four goals away to AZ last weekend, Eindhoven have proven how lethal they are going forward, so expect goals when these two sides clash.

PSV have been going toe to toe with the top two in terms of form this season. All of Holland’s big three sides have managed to win their first four league matches of the New Year, which has left Feyenoord eight points clear of the defending champions in the Eredivisie. It’s going to take a huge finish for them to retain their title.

The champions face a tough fixture this weekend, given that Utrecht have lost just one away game all season. Their impressive form this term has put them directly behind PSV in the standings, and the visitors will be out to solidify that position with a shock away victory. Taking anything back from this trip will be tough for fourth placed Utrecht, especially as PSV have now picked up in front of goal.

PSV have scored in their last seven home matches, on top of impressing in 2017. While the visitors have a solid record on their travels, we’re backing that, and their strong defensive record, to go. On the plus side for the visitors, they do have an opportunity to cause problems going forward. Utrecht average 1.3 goals per game on their travels, while boasting one of the best overall away records in the division.

PSV have opened up of late, which has seen them concede six times in their last three matches. The side who have found the net in 90% of their away games should be able to take advantage of that slip in standards from the champions. On top of that, the away side have seen both teams score in 60% of matches on their travels. Utrecht have also scored in their last three visits to this ground, so we’re backing both teams to score at 19/20 with bet365.
