Last season, FC Utrecht won 1-0, thanks to a penalty kick used by top scorer Tasos Douvikas. That victory fits in with a trend, because FC Utrecht did not lose one of the last fifteen meetings against Heerenveen. The last Frisian victory dates from January 2015. In the Galgenwaard it was then 1-2. Luciano Slagveer and Sam Larsson scored on behalf of Heerenveen, Willem Janssen on behalf of FC Utrecht.
FC Utrecht wants to continue the series: undefeated against Heerenveen for almost nine years
