FC Utrecht form and stats

There's been little loot from FC Utrecht's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 7 away games in the Eredivisie. FC Utrecht only have 2 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 1 draw. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Utrecht's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Utrecht are travelling after their nice 1-0 home win in the Eredivisie against Heracles Almelo (placed 14th). Late drama in the previous game, when Mats Knoester scored the winning goal three minutes into stoppage time to defeat Heracles Almelo. Defender Mark van der Maarel was the best team player with a rating of 8.04. Maarel hit one key pass and won 7 of 10 duels.

Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting SC Cambuur's place.
