Preview: FC Utrecht vs. ADO Den Haag - prediction, team news, lineups

Sports Mole previews Sunday's Eredivisie clash between FC Utrecht and ADO Den Haag, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

FC Utrecht will take on ADO Den Haag on Sunday as they hope to get back to winning ways, with the hosts now winless in their previous three Eredivisie games.

Meanwhile, Den Haag managed to pick up a 1-1 draw in their previous league match against Heerenveen, with the visitors only on five points this season.


Match preview

Utrecht have secured just two wins in the 2020-21 season so far, with the side registering a further five draws from their opening nine games.

In their previous league result, they picked up a 1-1 draw against Feyenoord, with Mark van der Maarel netting the first goal of the match.

Despite their poor start to the campaign, their home record in recent times has been highly impressive, having claimed five victories in their last seven home games.

Their last league win came back in October, where the hosts secured an impressive 2-1 triumph against FC Twente after managing to come back from a 1-0 deficit, following an early goal from their opponents.

However, Den Haag have experienced a miserable start to their season, having gained just one win in the Eredivisie so far.

This means they currently sit in the relegation playoffs, just two points above FC Emmen who occupy bottom place.

Their only victory came in matchday four, when the visitors claimed a narrow 2-1 win against VVV-Venlo, with David Philipp able to score the late winner in the 93rd minute.

However, neither Utrecht or Den Haag are known for their goalscoring antics this season, with RKC Waalwijk the only Eredivisie side to score fewer goals this campaign.

The two sides last met back in January this year, when Utrecht secured a comfortable 4-0 victory against the visitors.

Team News

Utrecht coach Rene Hake has only one injury concern heading into this game, with reserve goalkeeper Fabian de Keijzer set to miss the match.

Apart from that, the Dutch manager should have a fully fit squad to choose from, and is expected to field the same starting XI that managed a point against Feyenoord last weekend.

Meanwhile, new coach Ruud Brood is without Peet Bijen, with the defender still undergoing his period on the sidelines.

Philipp is also missing from the side, after the German went off injured in their previous match against Heerenveen.

FC Utrecht possible starting lineup:
Paes; Van der Maarel, Bergstrom, Hoogma, Warmerdam; Ramselaar, Overeem, Gustafson; Van de Streek; Mahi, Kerk

ADO Den Haag possible starting lineup:
Koopmans, Van Ewijk, Del Fabro, Kemper, Faye; Pascu, Pinas, Elmkies; Karelis, Kramer, Besuijen


SM words green background

We say: FC Utrecht 1-0 ADO Den Haag

Utrecht should be able to claim the home win this Sunday, with the hosts currently possessing a better record in the league. However, with both sides struggling to find the back of the net this term, this game could be a low scoring affair.
