FC Utrecht’s winless home run continues following goalless draw
FC Utrecht and Groningen shared the spoils in a goalless draw on Friday night as the hosts’ home frustrations continued.
Dick Advocaat’s side enjoyed the edge in a tight match of few chances, but could not find a goal to end a winless run at home which dates back to December 9.
Victory could have taken Utrecht level with fifth-placed Vitesse Arnhem but Groningen’s good form continued as they made it six Eredivisie games without defeat.
They have now taken 17 points from their last eight outings to climb well clear of trouble at the foot of the table, sitting just five points behind Utrecht.

FourFourTwo was launched in 1994 on the back of a World Cup that England hadn’t even qualified for. It was an act of madness… but it somehow worked out. Our mission is to offer our intelligent, international audience access to the game’s biggest names, insightful analysis... and a bit of a giggle. We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
