A Sports Betting Pick by Erik
Football : Netherlands : Eredivisie
Saturday, 25 August 2012 - Kickoff 18:45 CET
On Saturday FC Utrecht will kick-of at 18:45 CET with their game at home to PEC Zwolle and the team will be confident after their 3-1 victory over VVV Venlo last weekend.
FC Utrecht
FC Utrecht suffered a 0-1 defeat at home to Feyenoord in their first game of the season and the win over VVV Venlo allowed the team to climb to the eighth place in the ranking.
In the game against VVV Venlo the visitors got 1-0 down halfway the first half but goal from Asare (att) just before halftime brought FC Utrecht alongside the hosts. In the second half a quick goal from Van der Gun (att) brought the visitors into the lead and Gerndt (att) determined the final score on 1-3.
For the game against PEC Zwolle the team will be without defenders Bovenberg (def) and Zullo (def).
PEC Zwolle
PEC Zwolle are without a win in their first two games drawing 1-1 on the road to Roda JC two weeks ago and suffering a 0-1 defeat at home to Vitesse.
It's expected to be a tough season for PEC Zwolle that is struggling for goals and lacking the creativity to become dangerous, although the team has shown quite some fighting spirit with Van Hintum (def) leading the ranks.
In the game against Vitesse the visitors opened the score halfway the second half. PEC Zwolle was awarded a penalty in stoppage time but Van Hintum (def) missed from eleven meters wasting the perfect opportunity to grab a point.
PEC Zwolle remains without Boer (gk) who will be absent for a few more weeks with a broken wrist. Slot (mid) remains sidelined with a knee injury.
The Betting Verdict :
FC Utrecht should be able to win this one and the odds seem about right, but FC Zwolle have shown to be able, although not completely successful, to shut up shop against Vitesse and a low-scoring game may be on the cards.
