📋 Team News: FC Utrecht
In our view, Utreg could use the 4-3-3 system for the game and select Vasilios Barkas, Niklas Vesterlund, Mike van der Hoorn, Nick Viergever, Souffian El Karouani, Paxten Aaronson, Alonzo Engwanda, Oscar Fraulo, Miguel Rodriguez, Sebastien Haller and Adrian Blake.
ℹ️ Team News: Sparta Rotterdam
Sparta Rotterdam boss Maurice Steijn has not got a full squad to pick from. Patrick van Aanholt (unknown injury), Carel Eiting (unknown injury) and Shunsuke Mito (Knee injury) will not be playing here.
We’re of the thinking that Kasteelheren seem likely to utilise a 4-2-3-1 system, settling for Nick Olij, Said Bakari, Marvin Young, Mike Eerdhuijzen, Mike Kleijn, Gjivai Zechiel, Joshua Kitolano, Kristian Hlynsson, Mohamed Nassoh, Mitchell van Bergen and Tobias Lauritsen.
✨ Prediction
Sparta Rotterdam will surely be able to breach the defence of this FC Utrecht team, but it probably won’t be as many as they’ll concede.
We’re expecting a 2-1 winning margin for FC Utrecht at the end of the 90 minutes. Hopefully this is a good one.
