VVV vs Utrecht Predictions

• Both teams have scored in 4 of the last 6 meetings between these two clubs.
• Both teams have scored in 4 of VVV’s last 5 matches.
• Both teams have scored in 4 of Utrecht’s last 5 matches.
• VVV have lost 5 games at home while Utrecht have won 4 games on the road.

Half of VVV’s home games have ended in defeat

VVV beat fellow relegation rivals RKC 2-1 away last weekend while Utrecht hammered Den Haag 4-0 at home, meaning the gap between the pair remains at 14pts heading into Sunday’s clash. Utrecht have won three of their last five matches against VVV and both teaks have scored in four of the duos’ last six encounters, so you can start to see why we have backed a 2-1 away win this weekend.

The visitors head into Sunday’s clash as the form favourites with four wins from their last six matches (including friendlies), and both teams have scored in four of VVV’s and four of Utrecht’s last six outings. VVV have already lost five games at home this season while Utrecht have secured four wins on the road, with the hosts averaging 1.30 points per home game and the visitors averaging 1.50 points on the road.

VVV have a 50% loss ratio in their own backyard and Utrecht have won 40% of their away games, with Sunday’s hosts scoring an average of 1.20 goals per home game and conceding 2.00 goals and we have backed Utrecht to claim a narrow 2-1 win this weekend, which ties in well with these particular stats.

Utrecht have good goalscoring record on the road

Over 2.5 goals have been scored in 80% of VVV’s home games as well as in 70% of Utrecht’s away games, adding further weight to our prediction of 3-goals being scored this Sunday. Both teams have scored in 60% of VVV’s home matches and 80% of Utrecht’s trips on the road, which is why we are confident that both goalkeepers will pick the ball out of the back of their net this Sunday.

The hosts have only kept clean sheets in 10% of their home games, making it highly unlikely that Utrecht won’t score, especially as the visitors have only failed to score in 10% of their away games. Exactly 3-goals have been scored in half of VVV’s home games and the host shave lost by a 1-goal margin four times so far this season, while Utrecht have twice won by a single goal.

We’re confident that both teams will score in Sunday’s clash and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-1 in favour of Utrecht. The visitors are the form favourites and have outperformed their hosts in all departments so far this season. VVV have already lost half of their games at home while the visitors have a decent win rate of 40% on the road, so you can see why we have backed Utrecht to pinch all 3pts.
