In another game of the Dutch Eredivisie, Feyenoord meets Utrecht at home.
Ten games in the past ten years, where Feyenoord has been the host, 8 victories, one draw and one loss. 8 out of those games have ended Over 2.5 Goals so as in the previous game, both teams like to score against each other.
Unlike Feyenoord, Utrecht is participating in the Europa League, where they would have to face, Celtic in the play-offs. Although the first game is on August 19th, the team can be under a psychological pressure.
The last 3 most recent games between these two teams all ended draw.

The Betting Verdict?
Backing Under 2.5 Goals @ 2.00 (Betfair.com): Although my first thoughts were for a home victory, this seems as the safer betting option. The odds are almost identical and the risk/reward ratio seems bigger.
