Roda JC vs FC Utrecht Betting Tips

Roda JC enter Thursday’s game on the back of a relatively solid run of results. They beat Excelsior 1-0 on January 23, after losing a couple of tough games 1-0 and 3-2 to AZ Alkmaar and Willem II respectively. In December, a 1-1 away draw against the now red hot PSV was followed by a 3-1 Cup win in the Last 16 against Heerenveen.

They’re an organised football team with a clear game plan and a pretty good run of form under their belts. On current form, they’d give any side in the Dutch Eredivisie a good game of football.

Their opponent on Thursday is another decent side playing their best football of the season. FC Utrecht have won four of their last five games. During that span they’ve picked up victories over De Graafschap, Ajax, Groningen and PEC Zwolle, while drawing with AZ.

Three Reasons for Betting Tips

1. Odds

Utrecht are a good side, but Roda JC are coming in at 4/5 on the Double Chance bet, which is an excellent line considering their current form.

2. Home advantage

Both teams are playing good football, FC Utrecht might be the more explosive in terms of pure scoring, but Roda JC have the advantage of playing this game on their home field.

3. Utrecht form about to run out

There’s just a feeling that their current run of form, which has seen them score nine times in five games is about to run aground.
