Feyenoord vs Heerenveen Prediction & Betting tips
Feyenoord will take on SC Heerenveen on Thursday. The team from Rotterdam is in a bad shape and currently has to watch out for every opponent.
Feyenoord:
Feyenoord lost for the second time in a row last Sunday in the league. When visiting FC Utrecht, Feyenoord did not play strongly initially, but since the home club also didn’t make much of it, the 1-0 score was a disappointment. In the second half it even became 2-0, after which Feyenoord came back strongly in the game. However, when the team went on the hunt for the winning goal, they scored another goal. So again an unnecessary defeat was suffered (3-2).
Steven Berghuis was disciplined by his coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst on Sunday and put on the bench. However, Berghuis came in strongly, so that a return to basics is obvious. Van Bronckhorst has some choices to make in defense, all rear-guard players are currently struggling with their form. So it does not seem to matter much who starts. In the front it looks like Jens Toornstra, or Nicolai Jørgensen a candidate for the bank.
SC Heerenveen:
SC Heerenveen won Saturday at the last minute, and a tad undeserved, his home game from Excelsior. The northerners played a weak game, and it was thanks to goalkeeper Warner Hahn that Excelsior did not score. Hahn intervened well a few times against his former employer. Pelle van Amersfoort provided the only goal of the match in the final minute. It was Heerenveen’s fourth victory in the last five matches.
Thanks to this new victory, Heerenveen, which had long relegation concerns, can still hope for European football. If Ajax manages to win the cup final of Willem II, the numbers five to eight will compete on the last Europa League ticket. The backlog of the Frisians at position eight is currently only four points. For Michel Vlap it will probably be his last months at the club. The midfielder, who makes his goals extremely easy, is in the interest of several clubs.
