AZ Alkmaar
There are odds of +700 available that Utrecht land a 2-1 win. We like the correct score option as there’s a nice reward if you can accurately predict the outcome.
Player Prop Picks
Yoann Cathline (Utrecht) has had at least one shot on goal in seven of his past ten Eredivisie games. It certainly looks possible that he will cover the Shots on Target line and there are odds of -135 up for grabs.
Dani De Wit (Utrecht) has netted three goals in his past five Eredivisie matches on home soil. We believe that there is merit in backing him for an Anytime Goalscorer prop wager at +280 which means we need to him to be on the scoresheet.
