Draw

RKC have been churning pretty average performances and the momentum picked up from the points against Heerenveen and Vitesse Arnhem are likely to have been swallowed up by the international break. At the other end, Utrecht have lost back-to-back games and the break has provided plenty of time to reflect on the performances. There has not been much to separate the two clubs in recent meetings and more of the same is expected in this game.

Total goals under 2.5

The last low scoring match between Utrecht and RKC was back in 2019. In the last three years of action between the two clubs, there have been plenty of goals but both are likely to approach this game in a very cautious manner due to the stakes.

Both teams to score – yes

There have been goals at both ends in the last four meetings between Utrecht and RKC. Once again, a very competitive match is expected between the clubs in this game. The likelihood of witnessing goals at both ends is rather high.
