REF’s picks

Backing over 3.5 goals makes sense given how porous both defences have been recently and how frequently these youth-infused matches open up. Jong FC Utrecht matches tend to produce high scores, and De Graafschap will look to exploit their visitors' defensive frailties at home.

1. 1Both teams consistently concede multiple goals in recent Eerste Divisie outings.
2. 2Head-to-head history shows several high-scoring encounters with plenty of attacking intent.
3. 3De Graafschap's backline can be fragile, leaving room for Jong FC Utrecht to contribute to the tally.
