Heerenveen vs Utrecht Prediction & Betting tips
SC Heerenveen and FC Utrecht are responsible for the early Sunday afternoon game in the Premier League. How are the two teams currently doing?
SC Heerenveen:
SC Heerenveen is already five games without a win. The season started well for the team from Friesland, with a victory at Heracles Almelo. Since then, things have been more difficult for Heerenveen. A number of the past duels could have ended differently, if Heerenveen would have been better off. Especially the last home match, against Fortuna Sittard (1-1) was an example of this. Last week Heerenveen had no chance in the lost away match against Ajax (4-1).
Captain Daniel Høegh has had to watch, but the central defender can be used again. Yet it is said that Høegh is not yet fit for the competition. He will therefore start on the couch. It is interesting to see which of the two central defenders takes trainer Johnny Jansen out of the team, should Høegh be ready to play again. Sven Botman is doing very well for the time being, and actually deserves a basic place.
FC Utrecht:
FC Utrecht put an end to a mini-dip last week. After a flying start the Domstedelingen had left points against VVV and FC Twente. Last Saturday, Utrecht played a home game against FC Emmen. There was certainly no good football, but due to effective finishing, the displayed game was enough for a 3-1 win. Striker Adrian Dalmau crowned his first base place with a goal.
Coach John van den Brom had seen that his team against Emmen was below par. “We have to play more compactly and give away fewer opportunities,” said the Utrecht coach in the run-up to the game in Friesland. “If you win, you have a very good starting position for the coming week,” Van den Brom continued. Unlike the other teams that play European football (or: played), Utrecht is already in six games. That has everything to do with the early elimination of FCU, in the second heat of the Europa League.
