FC Utrecht have started this season on a strong note. After their opening four matches they sit third with seven points accumulated. Rene Hake's men began with a resounding 4-0 win against Sparta Rotterdam before Groningen held them to a goalless draw. They'd recover by running out 3-1 winners over Feyenoord, but last time out lost 1-0 at Twente. As for RKC Waalwijk they find themselves in mid-table after winning just one of their opening four Eredivisie matches. Joseph Oosting's side come into this weekend's game on a three-game winless streak, losing twice. Across their previous 25 visits to Utrecht, the club from Waalwijk have returned home with just three wins, the last coming in December 2019 when Melle Meulensteen headed a 69th-minute winner. 2:1
