Match announcement
Heracles
NetherlandsCurrent form
Before the start of the season, Heracles was considered one of the main contenders for relegation from the Eredivisie, inferior to many competitors in terms of player selection. However, in the first round, Erwin Van de Looy team performed quite well and has so far avoided falling into the relegation zone, sitting in 14th place in the table. There is a modest gap of four points from 16th Sparta, which will not allow them to feel safe for now. Having beaten Almere City 2:0 in the last round, Heracles won their fourth victory of the season.

FC Utrecht
NetherlandsCurrent form
Before the start of the season, Utrecht was considered a clear contender for a place in the top eight and certainly set itself the task of fighting for a ticket to the European Cups, but at the same time it was certainly not among the candidates for a place in the top three. However, Ron Jans' team has held third place for a long time and is four points ahead of fourth-placed Feyenoord, with Twente six points behind. Having drawn a goalless draw with AZ in the last round, Utrecht did not allow their competitor to get any closer, but at the same time they failed to win in their fourth home match in a row.
Disqualifications and injuries
The visitors have no problems with their lineup.

1.55Tip and bets
Utrecht played extremely cautiously in defense in the last round, and first of all, tried not to concede and not to lose. Today, the guests will have the maximum tasks, the opponent is much lower level than AZ and this time Ron Jans charges will clearly play in their traditional attacking style. Heracles has improved recently and does not look like a walkover opponent, but the hosts are significantly inferior in class, their defense is far from ideal, the favorite should have no problems with scoring goals.
We believe that the hosts will concede. Betting Tip - Utrecht individual total is more than two goals . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 2.75
Bet on the outcome
Utrecht is currently only four points behind a whole group of pursuers and certainly has no right to make mistakes in matches against opponents of the level of Heracles. It is obvious that today the guests will be maximally motivated and no other result except victory will satisfy them. In general, the task for Utrecht is quite feasible - the opponent is seriously inferior in class, despite a number of successful matches, Heracles has plenty of problems in the game, it makes sense to give preference to the favorite.
Bet - Utrecht win. This bet is offered for 1.85
Bet on corners
Utrecht are the favourites and will probably spend the entire 90 minutes attacking – the visitors should win confidently on corners.
Bet - Utrecht win on corners. This bet is offered for 1.75
