Utrecht - Heerenveen Prediction, Picks and Taips
FC Utrecht and SC Heerenveen take care of the first round of the fourth round. Both teams will kick off with confidence. Who has the best credentials for the victory?
FC Utrecht settled on Sunday in their own Galgenwaard with RKC Waalwijk. That sounds obvious, but in the previous season Utrecht did not score a single point against RKC. However, the team from the Dom City was well on its way on Sunday, although the victory was only achieved in the final phase. Ultimately there was a 3-1 victory for Utrecht on the scoreboard. "I think we made it difficult for ourselves, because we played well in the first half and had plenty of opportunities," John van den Brom analyzed after the game won on Sunday.
The club from Utrecht completed an outgoing transfer on Thursday. Right back Sean Klaiber made a surprising switch to Ajax. Utrecht will have an amount of five million euros left over from the transfer, not including any bonuses. FCU reportedly wants to spend part of that sum on the purchase of Glenn Bijl, who is currently under contract with FC Emmen. For Friday's match, all of that will probably not be ready yet, so Van den Brom will probably rely on Mark van der Maarel or Giovanni Troupee on Friday in the back right.
The club from Friesland is surprisingly still without losing points after three rounds in this new season. After a 2-0 win over Willem II in round one, a win over Fortuna Sittard (2-3) followed. And last, VVV Venlo was beaten. Heerenveen won 1-0 against the Limburgers in the Abe Lenstra Stadium. The good news pretty much ended there, because the game that Heerenveen showed in this match was not very convincing. After the flying start there are now two difficult duels for the team of trainer Johnny Jansen. After Friday's match in the Dom City, an away match against Ajax will follow immediately after the international match period.
Perhaps the biggest pillar of Heerenveen's current success is Joey Veerman, who has been the star on the Frisian side so far. The transfer market is still open for a few days, so Heerenveen fans cannot rest assured that the midfielder will stay. Veerman was injured against VVV. However, his injury does not seem very serious, so he will probably be there on Friday in Utrecht.
