Utrecht vs Heracles Prediction 23.02.2024

• Competition: Eredivisie
• Date: 23.02.2024
• Kickoff: 19:00 UK / 20:00 CET
• Venue: Stadion Galgenwaard (Utrecht)

With 3 consecutive victories, Utrecht moved closer to the position that leads to the playoffs. Now they are in 9th place in the table but tied with Sparta Rotterdam, the team that is in the playoff spot. In the previous round, Utrecht achieved a great result by defeating the 3rd team in the Twente table, on the away field. This season they took more points away from home than at home, and for an excellent result at the end of the season they will also need points in Utrecht.

Heracles doesn't have as good a season so far as Utrecht. They have lost 3 out of 4 of their last matches, and they are also not safe as far as the fight for survival is concerned. They currently have 4 points more than the team in the playout zone, which is not a certainty. This season, they won only twice in 11 away games played. They expected much more from this club at the beginning of the competition and this season has basically already failed for them.

Utrecht vs Heracles pick: UTRECHT TO WIN AND COVER AH -1

In the last two matches against Volendam and Sittard, Utrecht scored 8 goals. Before that, they played 4-4 against Beveren in a friendly match. It is obvious that the power of the attacking line has increased considerably and Utrecht will try to achieve another positive result on the wings of that good form. Recently, Heracles has been playing very poorly on away games and this could be a routine victory for the home team. We choose AH -1 victory, where a victory with only one goal difference means a refund.
