Football Bet of the Day: Miners to dig deep and restrict Utrecht

Not So Bold: Erik ten Hag's Utrecht have been sticking to Under 2.5 Goals recently

"Yannis Anastasiou's hosts have scored just three times in seven appearances there this season. Six of those matches have stayed below the goals line"

Victory for Victory and a win for us too, as the away side won this morning's Melbourne derby 2-1.

Last season was Roda JC's first back in the Eredivisie after a season away. Their two meetings with Utrecht delivered just three goals in total and we like the price on another low scorer at Parkstad Limburg Stadion this afternoon.

Yannis Anastasiou's hosts have scored just three times in seven appearances there this season. Six of those matches have stayed below the goals line as the Miners have only once conceded more than once.

Erik ten Hag's visitors are riding high in sixth, but they've not been especially prolific on the road. They've scored 10 times on seven away days so far, and five of the most recent six games have finished with Under 2.5 Goals.
