Heracles vs FC Utrecht
Dutch Eredivisie
Date: 11 February 2022, Friday
Kick-off at 19:00 UK / 20:00 CET
Venue: Erve Asito (Almelo).

Heracles and FC Utrecht will raise the curtain on Matchday No 22 in the elite tier of Dutch football on Friday evening at Erve Asito.

The hosts will be looking to bring a four-game winless streak to an end, while the visitors are searching for the third successive Eredivisie success here.

Heracles dropped to 15th place in the league table after a run of three draws and a defeat in the previous four rounds.

They are now only four points above Fortuna Sittard who currently hold the relegation playoffs spot. The latest of the failures came on Sunday afternoon when Heracles lost 3-0 away at sovereign leaders Ajax.

However, it is worth noting that Heracles generally tend to offer much better performances on the home patch. They have claimed all of their five victories in this term of Eredivisie in Almelo.

The outfit led by German manager Frank Wormuth lost only one of the last nine home fixtures in the league, a run that includes the clashes against AZ Alkmaar and Ajax.

Heracles could have serious problems to keep hold on FC Utrecht’s impressive offensive line here, though.

Anastasios Douvikas completed a brace a 3-2 victory over Cambuur last weekend, while Henk Vermaan scored on his debut for FC Utrecht in the same affair.

Rene Hake’s men are now only one point below sixth-placed Vitesse in the league standings. They have bagged three goals in each of the last two league wins over Sparta Rotterdam and Cambuur.
