We expect 3.1 goals in total: 1.3 for ADO Den Haag and 1.7 for FC Utrecht. Both sides are more likely than not to score (61%) and three or more goals is 59%.
We expect ADO Den Haag to have 15.3 shots (5.3 on target) and FC Utrecht 14.6 (5.7 on target), and corners at 4.8 to 5.0. Of their last five meetings on our records, ADO Den Haag have won one, FC Utrecht three, and one was drawn. The last meeting ended ADO Den Haag 1–4 FC Utrecht, in Apr 2021.
ADO Den Haag come in with two wins, two draws and two defeats in their last six. FC Utrecht have three wins, one draw and two defeats over the same run. Of the players, Ángel Alarcon (FC Utrecht) tops both our lists, with 2.6 shots and 0.8 on target expected if they start.
