In the next match of the 14th round of the Dutch championship, Utrecht will fight Heracles. Will the hosts be able to break the losing streak?
"Utrecht"
"Utrecht" continues to score regularly, but even so in the previous two rounds it failed to score a single point, losing 1-2 to Vitesse and Cambure. Two misfires in a row dropped the team to fifth place and led to a lag from the leading three to five points. Utrecht likes the score 2-1, because before two losses he won two consecutive victories, one of which was with the result 2:1 - over Heerenveen, and there was also a major success in the confrontation with Willem II (5-1).
"Heracles"
But "Heracles" in the last round managed to replenish the points piggy bank with three points, confidently coping with "Fortuna" (3-1) on its field. This victory not only helped Heracles break away from the relegation zone by five points, but also interrupted a 4-match winless streak, which included three losses and a draw. At the moment, Heracles has fourteen points, with which it is located in the thirteenth position.
