Best Tip: Both teams to score

Both Utrecht and Heerenveen supporters should get a chance to celebrate as their clubs go head-to-head, with a match prediction of both teams to score looking a far stronger pick than any bet on the WDW market. The two sides are more than capable of finding the net, as is borne out by the statistics and past head-to-head data below. Even the bookies odds are not finding real separation between the sides, as striking power and defensive options suggest each team is capable of both scoring and conceding. Both teams to score is the way to go here.
