Utrecht vs Heerenveen Predictions, Bet Tips & Predictions

Utrecht v Heerenveen
Dutch eredivisie
Date: Friday, October 2, 2024
Start at 19pm UK
Venue: Stadion Galgenwaard.

One of the most interesting matches in the Dutch Eredivisie this weekend will take place at Galgenwaard on Friday.

In-form Heerenveen will try to maintain a 100% win rate in very hot terrain.

Few teams have managed to beat Utrecht away from home in recent seasons. In terms of odds, the away win is quoted at 4,00 at the moment, while the chances of the home team achieving the same success are 1,75.

Both teams have big ambitions this season: to cause problems for top teams like Ajax, AZ, PSV and Feyenoord and to qualify for the Europa League during the regular season.

Utrecht v Heerenveen head to head

All the head-to-head matches between these opponents have been super exciting and enjoyable to watch over the last few seasons, with plenty of goals and lots of action.

Sixteen of the last seventeen meetings have ended BTTS or Above 2,5 FT, so we expect to see something similar this time around as well.

In terms of all-time statistics, there were a total of 61 matches: 24 were won by Utrecht, 22 by Heerenveen. However, Utrecht has six consecutive victories at this stadium.

Utrecht vs Heerenveen Prediction

Surprisingly, Heerenveen topped the Eredivisie table in three rounds. They have accumulated the most points so far, but there have been some lucky circumstances in some games.

For example, they weren't dominant against VVV last weekend at home, but they still won the match 1-0, mainly due to their one-man advantage.

However, the victories against Willem II and Fortuna Sittard were different stories. Young Joey Veerman made a great start to the season, scoring two goals and providing two assists.

Utrecht have played only two games so far: they defeated RKC Waalwijk on this ground easily 3-1, while the duel in Venlo ended without a winner 1-1.

As you can see, this team rarely keeps a blank slate. We expect a lot of goals, so both teams to score at 1,50 is probably the biggest bank bet available for the weekend.

Utrecht vs Heerenveen Predictions

• Both teams will score at 1.50

• Over 1,5 goals in the first half to 2,20
