These two second teams have had a rough stretch lately. The home side has not won any of their recent matches, with a couple of draws and several losses, so they are struggling for form. The visitors have been a little better, winning a couple of games but also taking some heavy defeats, so they are not exactly flying either. Neither team looks especially settled right now.

When these teams meet, goals tend to fly in. Their recent meetings include a five-three game, a three-three draw, and other high-scoring results, so this one looks open rather than tight. Given the home team's poor run and Utrecht's slightly better recent record, a draw seems the most likely outcome here.
