The campaign that Utrecht has been doing in the Dutch championship is positive. His idea is to stay where he is, so he hopes to conquer a good result in this last round. As he will face a rival who also wants a good result, he can not enter the inattentive field, because that can harm him. This being so, it is evident that he must show enthusiasm and attitude, so as not to take the risk of being surprised. The team knows that if they show a better performance and do not make mistakes they can add the three points. In this match Simon Makienok will be absent, for being in the medical department.

The visiting team plays against FC Utrecht a match of the 33rd day that had been postponed, after 10 wins, 11 draws and 12 defeats in their matches for the league until now. This is a team that usually gets more positive results in away matches than at home, since they have won 22 points in away matches and 36 at their stadium, with 36 goals scored and 35 conceded at home, against 27 goals scored and 35 conceded goals. For the league, Heerenveen won 11 points out of 30 possible points, after 3 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses in the last 10 home matches.

The constant oscillation presented by the Heerenveen is difficult to explain and the team is in the middle of the table, being that their desire is to at least win in this last round. This will not be easy, but he runs behind that goal and knows that he will need to have a good performance in the field to achieve it. The team is aware that you can improve your numbers if you add all three points, but to make it real you will need to play very well and you can not make mistakes. As already said, it will look for victory, but if it ties it will be a positive result. In this match the best players that are available will play.
PREDICTION: Utrecht to win @ 1,64
