Trouble in paradise - this is the only way to describe PSV Eindhoven's situation at the moment as the once formidable team has fallen from grace. On Tuesday, they lost 2-1 against Juventus in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League knockout playoffs. This now puts them in a tricky position to qualify for the round of 16, making a return leg at home a do or die clash.
Before this defeat, they were left to lament their missed opportunities against Willem II in the Eredivisie as they played out a 1-1 draw at home. This was the second consecutive game in which they gave up their lead from a winning position.
The Lightbulbs have won one of their last five matches in the league (D3, L1) and come into this clash winless in their last two. This has seen them give up their position at the summit to Ajax Amsterdam who have a game in hand, casting doubts as to whether they'll be able to retain their league title this season.

FC Utrecht has been performing really well this season, and if given the chance, there's no doubt they could cause an upset in this impending encounter given their opponents floundering performances of late.
Their success this season can be attributed to their potent offence. They have the fifth-best record with 40 goals scored. However, the team seems to have misplaced its shooting boots in recent encounters by going two matches without scoring a goal, with the end result being defeats in both games.
The highlighted match during this scoring drought is their exit in the KNVB Beker when they lost 2-0 to Heracles Almelo in the quarter-finals. This was followed by a 1-0 home league defeat to Almere City on Sunday, making it four matches without a win in the Eredivisie (D3).
Probable Starting XI
Formation: 4-2-3-1

Expert Betting Tips
PSV Eindhoven has been in a giving mood lately, dropping nine points in their last five matches. Nothing surprises me anymore with the home team's floundering form and I can't trust them to step up to the plate here.
The same goes for FC Utrecht who have been in poor form recently. However, the visitors can be a good pick in the european handicap and this is why I'm giving them a two-goal advantage.
The reasoning behind the pick has got to do with their impressive form on the road. They have yet to suffer defeat in 11 games this season and have scored a whopping 23 goals during this run.
Our main prediction for the match: European handicap - FC Utrecht (0:2) with Betway.
2nd prediction: Total - Over 3.5 for 1.98 with 1xbet.
3rd prediction: Both Teams To Score - Yes for 1.61 with Bet365.
