Utrecht will open their 2025/26 Eredivisie campaign with a home match against Heracles. The past season was a good one for Utrecht, finishing fourth, while Heracles wrapped up the campaign five points above the relegation zone. We have a prediction for this match.
Utrecht had a superb run last term, claiming fourth spot and achieving European football. They are already settled in and are targeting a slot in the main draw of the Europa League.
By the time they get to this game, Utrecht will have the momentum, as they have so far played three Europa League qualifying matches. A 3-1 away first-leg lead has them in line for a playoffs place.
Meanwhile, Heracles are just coming in from preseason and are set to kick off their competitive campaign. They’ve gone unbeaten in the four preseason friendly matches, winning the last three.
Heracles didn’t close the season as strong, though, losing four of their last five Eredivisie matches. Having faced PSV, NEC, and Feyenoord, among others, there wasn’t much expectation for them to win anyway.
Two wins only in the latest 10 away league matches should, however, be a concern. Heracles were among the weakest sides on the road last term, losing 10 of their 17 away league matches all season. Surprisingly, Heracles are unbeaten in their last two matches against Utrecht.

Our Utrecht vs Heracles Prediction
Heracles are coming into this match as underdogs, and they will not be aided by the fact that they are playing away from home. In their last five matches, they suffered four defeats; meanwhile, all five games produced over 2.5 goals.
Utrecht have started their season on a high and will be looking to carry this run of form to their domestic assignments. They won each of their last three matches in the Europa League, and their only concern would be that they failed to keep a clean sheet. Our prediction for Utrecht v Heracles is that Utrecht wins and over 2.5 goals.
