Heerenveen and Utrecht square off against each other in a matchup between two sides heading in opposite directions. As Utrecht suffered a dip in form, we predict a 2-1 home win. The hosts have taken 1.60 points per game overall and remain particularly efficient in attack, averaging 1.80 goals scored with an xG of 1.89. However, they must cope without suspended defender Sam Kersten, a key figure despite the recent 2–0 loss to Groningen. Defensive stability at home has been an issue already, with Heerenveen keeping 0% clean sheets in their last five in Friesland and conceding 1.60 goals on average.
Utrecht travel north after a demanding Europa League outing against Celtic, raising concerns about fatigue. Their domestic form is alarming: LLLLL in the league with only 0.60 PPG and a shocking 0.17 PPG away from home. Missing important defender Mike Eerdhuijzen does not help a back line already conceding 1.50 goals per game. Still, their away numbers show some life — 75% BTTS, 1.50 goals scored, and an xG of 1.83.
Considering Heerenveen's better form and Utrecht’s awful run, we predict that punters worldwide can find value in betting on Home Win, alongside BTTS and Over 2.5 goals as both siddes average over 3.00 total goals per match.
This Netherlands Eredivisie match will be played on Sunday 1 February 2026 at 15:45.
