We said: Heracles 1-0 FC Utrecht

FC Utrecht will be hoping for a new manager bounce after the recent appointment of Jans, but it may take time for the former Twente boss to turn around the form of his struggling side. As such, we expect the visitors to continue their impressive form at Erve Asito, making it three wins on the bounce on home soil. Read more.
