Utrecht vs Heerenveen Top Predictions and Bets
After an incredible game against Alkmaar over the weekend, Utrecht is at home facing a team that is directly threatening their placement in one of Europe's competitions for next season.
Contents
Under 2.5 Goals
We are going to put that insane 5-5 draw with Alkmaar aside, and come back to earth for this matchup. Utrecht doesn't score a lot of goals, or rather they are an average-scoring team comparing themselves to the best teams in the Eredivisie. Heerenveen, on the other side of things, is one of the lowest-scoring teams in the league, even though they had some games recently with the above average number of goals. However, they are still at the very top of teams with under 2.5 goals record standing at ten matches. Utrecht had eight of those games including three in their past five league outings. Comparing their h2h record, we can see that they had three ‘over' games in their last five matches.
Utrecht to Win
Heerenveen suffered three losses in their last four matches which clearly shows that their form is not at a high standard currently. Utrecht is unbeaten in four out of their last five games while playing against some of the best teams in the country Feyenoord, Twente, and AZ Alkmaar. The most fascinating stat regarding this matchup is when they are playing against one another, Utrecht suffered only one loss in their last ten games.

Team News, Predicted Lineups, and Preview
Utrecht
The only thing that is missing from Utrecht's season is one of the most important ones, balancing the odds between scoring and conceding goals. There is not much of a difference when we look at their 32-31 goalscoring record. When it comes to that kind of stat, Utrecht has just lost one of its best players and scorers Bas Dost who will be sidelined throughout February because of a foot injury. He has scored six goals in 16 matches this season. Ramon Hendriks is also injured while Django Warmerdam, Bart Ramselaar, and Tommy St. Jago are doubtful to play.
Predicted lineup: Berkas, Klaiber, Viergever, Toornstra, van der Hoorn, Sagnan, Booth, Bozdogan, Douvikas, van de Streek, Boussaid.
Heerenveen
The visiting team is the only club in the top ten of Eredivisie with a negative goal difference standing at 20-21. Since the season was restarted at the beginning of January they have won only one game while losing three which meant that they dropped out of the top seven positions. That fact puts them out of European competition's positions for next season. Andries Noppert and Sven van Beek are players missing the trip to Utrecht through injuries.
Predicted lineup: Mous, van Aken, Bochniewicz, Haye, Tahiri, Kohlert, van Amersfoort, Olsson, van Ewijk, van Hooijdonk, Sarr.
Starting lineups
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.

Heerenveen
Player to Watch: Amin Sarr
The young Swedish center-forward was in a bidding match throughout the January transfer window when Lyon allegedly made an offer but eventually, the deal didn't go through which is a lucky circumstance for Heerenveen. Sarr has scored five goals this season which is the second-best mark on the team, but he is also the top creator of goals with five assists on the record.
