Match Preview
| Sunday’s Eredivisie action opens with a repeat of last season’s European play-off semi-final; as Heerenveen welcome Utrecht. The hosts won the home leg 4-3 that day although you never really know what you’ll get from this fixture between two well-matched sides. |
| Jan Olde Riekerink cannot attribute Heerenveen’s healthy league standing ahead of kick-off to their home form – fans in Friesland have watched their side win just once here all season (W1, D3, L3; 30% of total points). Furthermore, only two sides have picked up fewer home points ahead of this round. |
| One thing that looks sure, is goals galore! With 32 goals scored, and conceded, this season, Heerenveen fixtures have seen more match goals than any other Eredivisie side’s games (4.27 on average per match). |
| Since taking over at Utrecht, Dick Advocaat has taken the side from the bottom three to fourth place; and has lost just two of his opening 12 matches in all competitions (W8, D2, L2). Furthermore, Advocaat is unbeaten in 12 of his 18 managerial encounters with Heerenveen (W11, D1, L6). |
| Utrecht have picked up just 24% of their points on the road; with their away form identical to Heerenveen’s home form (W1, D3, L3) which makes this game a bit of a head-scratcher. |
| Players to watch: Heerenveen top scorer Michel Vlap ended a four-match Eredivisie goal drought – the midfielder averages nearly a goal every other game with seven from 15. |
| Utrecht’s Gyrano Kerk has finally found his shooting boots, after scoring in each of his last three Eredivisie matches to open his account for the season in some style. |
| Stat attack: Each of the last seven Eredivisie H2H matches (including play-offs) in Friesland have produced over 3.5 goals. |
| Utrecht have scored three or more goals in their last three matches. |
| Six of the last seven H2H’s here saw both teams score. |
