Utrecht preview: Hoping to build on their great season so far
With 36 points from 16 games, Utrecht have been the most surprising story of the season in the Eredivisie and they are currently tied for the second place in the standings with Ajax and just six points behind the reigning champions PSV. Utrecht have only lost once in their last seven games and they've been in good form lately, so there's plenty of reasons for optimism going into the second half of the season.
Meanwhile, Matisse Didden is out with an injury, while one of the team's key players this season Paxten Aaronson is suspended.
Predicted lineup: Barkas (GK), Vesterlund, Van der Hoorn, Viergever, Karouani, Iqbal, Bozdogan, Rodriguez, Toornstra, Cathline & Min
