FC Utrecht - SC Heerenveen predictions

With bookies pricing a home win at 1.83, it’s clear the match may yet go either way. The hosts have a distinct advantage, of course, but both a draw and an away win are quite possible outcomes.

The matchup this Sunday is rather one-sided, with SC Heerenveen seen as the clear underdogs. Most bookmakers online have priced their victory at 4.01, which is enough to doubt such an outcome will happen.

The home team went into their previous matchup as close favourites, but it doesn’t seem that helped them overcome the home-field disadvantage. They were behind throughout the game’s runtime and recorded a somewhat disappointing 1:0 away loss.

SC Heerenveen last played a home game as part of the Eredivisie, but they still had their work cut out for them considering the 2.78 betting odds. They quickly took the lead, though, and went on to secure a narrow but convincing $RESULT victory.

The previous 3 times we saw FC Utrecht play at home were marked by more than 5 goals from them. The visitors will need to be careful if they want to avoid conceding a lot of goals.

The start of the season has not exactly been ideal for FC Utrecht so far. Currently in 8th place at the table, there’s a long road ahead of them if they want to end the season on a high note. Admittedly, though, they’ll have plenty of chances to move up, starting with their clash with SC Heerenveen.

SC Heerenveen find themselves placed 15th in the standings as this Eredivisie season enters round 7. That puts them just 1 point above the relegation zone, which is far from an admirable result. Although there’s plenty of time left to improve the impression they’re leaving, it’s hard to feel optimistic with the 4.01 odds most bookies online are offering for an away win.

The betting odds are clearly in the hosts’ favour, and the last time they clashed with SC Heerenveen things went their way. In fact, they snagged a decisive victory with an advantage of more than two goals.

With no injuries or suspensions to deal with, both teams will be able to give their all this Sunday.

Our prediction would be a fairly safe Home Win bet at the odds of 1.80. It’s obvious the hosts have a clear advantage going into this clash, and there’s plenty of reasons to feel confident in their success.
