Betting suggestion:

The first match was very balanced, so the 0-0 draw wasn't a surprise, but in this second match, we should have goals, as both teams need goals to advance. Utrecht needs the support of their fans, and the visitors will look for counter attacks to advance. So our bet is on over 2,5 goals to be scored.

Preview
Utrecht and Valletta meet at Mandemakers Stadion, in a 2nd leg match for the UEFA Europa League (2nd Qualifying Round). These two teams tied (0‑0) in the 1st leg match.

Analysis Utrecht

After the goalless draw in the 1st leg, the home team needs to get a home win to qualify for the next round. Utrecht has won 8, tied 1 and lost 1 of the last 10 home matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches.

Utrecht will decide at home, as they had a 0-0 draw in the first match, so they are in need of a simple win. Playing at home, they should have a positive result, as they have a quality team that usually doesn't concede with ease. So in this match, coach Erik Tem should prioritize offensive plays, and reach a win without surprises. They should have all their players available for this match.

Confirmed Lineup: David Jensen, Mark van der Maarel, Edson Braafheid, Willem Janssen, Sean Klaiber, Sander van de Streek, Wout Brama, Ayoub El Jorfi, Zakaria Labyad, Simon Makienok, Gyrano Kerk.

Analysis Valletta

The away team comes to this 2nd leg match after a goalless draw in the 1st leg and the advantage of not having conceded any home goals. In the last 10 away matches Valletta has won 4, tied 3 and lost 3. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 4 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

After a not so convincing first match, where they managed only a draw at home, so they know they must improve to stay in the competition, as a simple win would get them to advance. So they should use a defensive and offensive posture, looking for at least a draw with goals, using Velasco as their highlight. They should use the same team they used in the first match.

Confirmed Lineup: Henry Bonello, Joseph Zerafa, Juan Cruz Gill, Steve Borg, Kevin Tulimieri, Uchenna Umeh, Claudio Pani, Romeu, Malano Santiago, Maximiliano Velasco, Michael Mifsud.
