Heerenveen come into this match off a tough 3-2 loss, and they have lost three of their last five games. That run also includes a defeat and a draw, so they have been struggling to get results lately. Utrecht is not in much better shape—they have lost three of their last five as well, though one of those was a draw. Both teams are finding it hard to pick up wins.

The last few times these two have met, there have been plenty of goals. Their most recent clash ended 3-2, and several of the earlier meetings also saw at least two or three goals. With both sides out of form but capable of scoring, this could be a wide-open match. Based on recent results, Utrecht looks slightly more likely to get the win, as they have been a bit more competitive on the road, but a draw is also very possible.
