Utrecht
- FC Utrecht come into this Sunday’s Eredivisie 2025-2026 encounter with SC Heerenveen on a two-match losing streak and it may take another big performance from either Victor Jensen or Souffian El Karouani to turn things around. The FC Utrecht vs SC Heerenveen prediction suggests a close contest given both sides' recent form.
- The Dutch international Jensen has hit three goals in three Eredivisie games this season, but it’s the creative contributions of El Karouani that have really made the difference for the club in recent weeks.
- Jans’ team have had a mixed start to the campaign, winning two, drawing one and losing two of their last five matches, but their home record has been more solid than that suggests, with two wins and one draw in their trio of home assignments.
Heerenveen
- Utrecht are currently eighth in the table with nine points from six games, while Heerenveen have just five points from six matches.
- Heerenveen have lost both of their away Eredivisie 2025-2026 matches so far, scoring just one goal on their travels, and our FC Utrecht vs SC Heerenveen preview highlights these away struggles as a critical factor.
- Heerenveen have just won one, drawn one and lost three of their last five and despite a spirited 3-2 victory against NEC Nijmegen last time out, Robin Veldman’s side could do with a confidence boost against a solid Utrecht outfit.
Key Players
- The Dutch international Jensen has hit three goals in three Eredivisie games this season, but it’s the creative contributions of El Karouani that have really made the difference for the club in recent weeks.
- Jacob Trenskow has been in great form for the visitors, hitting 3 Eredivisie goals in 6 games to account for 3 of Heerenveen’s 7 goals in their last 5 matches.
