Feyenoord was brought back down to earth as they concluded 2024 on a negative note after losing 3-0 against rivals PSV Eindhoven three days before Christmas.
Unfortunately, this ended their impressive six-match unbeaten run in the league in which they had recorded five wins and a solitary draw.
However, all is not lost, as De club aan de Maas play their first home game in the new year on top of a four-match unbeaten run (W3, D1). A win here will most definitely serve as a confidence boost in their bid for a top two finish this season.

Form: LDWDL
FC Utrecht, on the other hand, were dealt the same hand as their opponents in this impending encounter as they squandered a one-goal lead to suffer a morale-sapping 5-2 thrashing at the hands of Fortuna Sittard to end 2024 with a two-match winless run (D1, L1).
It's an undeniable fact that the visitors have seen a significant decline in form lately, from winning nine of their 10 outings to just one win from their last five games (D2, L2).
Perhaps away form could come to their aid, as Utreg been indomitable since the start of the season, going unbeaten in eight games, recording six wins and two draws. Additionally, they are the only side in the league that has yet to see their away record tainted by defeat.

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Expert Betting Tips
Turning a blind eye to their poor form in the last five league matches, FC Utrecht has proven itself that it has what it takes to rub shoulders with the league's elite teams this season, and that alone is enough to convince me they'll be a difficult opponent to overcome here.
Honestly, I'm not expecting the visitors to come out victorious in this matchup, but I do like their chances of getting on the scoresheet. This is a team that currently boasts the fourth-best offensive record in the league, coming up against a side that has been suspect to a leaky defense. That said, surely they are worth a goal, if not maximum points.
- Both Teams To Score - Yes for 1.71
- Total - Over 3 for 1.72
- Anytime Goalscorer - Santiago Gimenez for 1.83
