Heracles vs Utrecht prediction and betting tips on January 24, 2025

Game Prediction

In the 20th round of the Dutch Eredivisie on January 24, 2025, Heracles will face Utrecht. The hosts are still near the relegation zone and need points, while the visitors are clearly determined to maintain their unusually high position, which requires winning even away.
Our prediction for the Heracles vs Utrecht match
Heracles earned only 33 points last season, but that was enough to accomplish their main goal—securing their spot in the country's top division. They finished in fourteenth place. Utrecht, on the other hand, was only seventh, and their fight for European competition spots ended when they lost to Go Ahead Eagles in extra time.
Now, under Ron Jans, Heracles has improved so much that they are considered one of the main surprises of the Dutch league. They were trailing only behind PSV and Ajax, ahead of even Feyenoord, which requires winning 2/3 of their matches. However, their form has dropped since December. In the cup, they managed to win away against Valwijk, but in the league, they only drew against AZ. In Almelo, Heracles is focusing on accumulating enough points to stay clear of the bottom, but they lose nearly half of their matches. In the cup, they won 2-0 away against De Graafschap, repeating the same feat away to Almere.
The hosts are not impressive. They score an average of 1.17 goals but concede 1.89 goals per match. The visitors, on the other hand, score 1.9 goals per match on average but have defensive issues, conceding about 1.5 goals per match.
