FC Utrecht vs. SC Heerenveen Preview

After a very lackluster start to the season, the second half of the campaign looked much better for FC Utrecht. In recent weeks, however, the Utrecht side has stepped it up a notch and has been racking up the wins. Ron Jans’s team has won nine of its last thirteen Eredivisie matches. The biggest highlight was, of course, the late 2-1 victory over Ajax at the Johan Cruijff Arena. It was Mike van der Hoorn who headed the ball in off a corner kick. Can the center back also make a difference against SC Heerenveen?

SC Heerenveen is also pleased with how the season has gone. The Super Frisians have received plenty of praise for their style of play since the start of the season. One minor caveat was the meager number of points they had accumulated. This was more than made up for in the second half of the season, allowing Robin Veldman’s team to ultimately finish in an impressive eighth place. Last weekend, they managed to snag a point against Ajax, making it clear that SC Heerenveen is ready for the next big showdown. Here are our FC Utrecht vs. SC Heerenveen betting tips.

For SC Heerenveen, the focus is naturally on Jacob Trenskow. The 25-year-old Dane is having an excellent season and finished with twelve goals and five assists. This means he was directly involved in a goal in half of the matches. It’s no surprise that the forward has been nominated for Player of the Year. We think he’ll be a key player again against FC Utrecht. The Player Special “Jacob Trenskow scores or provides an assist” offers odds of 2.40 at Oranje Palace.

For the neutral viewer, the FC Utrecht - SC Heerenveen match looks like an excellent way to pass the time. We see two teams that are eager to win and must attack to reach the playoff final. We certainly expect a few goals, but we’re sticking to a maximum of three. In SC Heerenveen’s last five matches, there were a maximum of three goals, and the same applies to FC Utrecht’s last three matches. And in head-to-head matches? In three of the last four head-to-head matches, there were fewer than 3.5 goals. Fewer than 3.5 goals gives you odds of 1.60 at Oranje Palace.
