- Competition: TOTO KNVB Beker - Quarter-Finals

- Venue: Asito Stadium (Almelo)
In their quest for a spot in the KNVB Beker semifinals, Heracles will face Utrecht at Asito Stadium on Tuesday night.
Heracles extended their undefeated streak in 2025 by securing a 1-1 stalemate against NAC Breda on the weekend, yet they are still in a vulnerable situation since they are only one place above the relegation play-off zone, with Sparta Rotterdam applying pressure from behind. The men in black and white are now shifting their focus to the national cup, where they will aim to reach the final-four stage for the first time in over a decade, having previously sent De Graafschap packing with a routine 2-0 victory in the last-16 round.
In the same manner as their Tuesday hosts, Utrecht have also managed to avoid the bitter taste of defeat in the new year so far, but over the weekend, they had to overturn Zwolle’s lead twice to salvage a 3-3 draw, keeping hold of third place with an eight-point gap behind league leaders PSV. When it comes to the KNVB Beker, Domstedelingen have consistently approached the competition with great ambition, best illustrated by the fact that they have fought for the trophy twice in the last nine editions.
Heracles vs Utrecht Betting Tips: DRAW
Interestingly, both teams are entering with the same recent form pattern, so we expect a tightly balanced duel here, one that could see the winner decided only after extra time or penalties. In fact, Heracles proved tough to beat on their home ground, but they also struggled to find the right formula for victories, leading to each of their six home games ending in a draw. Furthermore, Utrecht have also been prone to drawing games lately, as they head into Tuesday's contest on the back of three consecutive draws, two of which came on the road. Adding to that, considering the first league encounter between the two sides this season ended in a 1-1 draw, we believe there are plenty of signs pointing to the possibility that a draw could be the final result here.

It would be no surprise if coach Erwin van de Looi fielded the same side that marched to a 2-0 win over De Graafschap in the KNVB Becker last-16 round.
