Heerenveen vs Feyenoord Prediction & Betting tips
In Holland, the quarter-finals in the cup competition, the KNVB Beker, should take place this week. Due to the heavy snowfall, one of the four games was canceled due to the weather. If the weather gods play along, the Eredivisie duel between Heerenveen and Feyenoord Rotterdam will kick off on Thursday. Despite a good placement, both teams have not necessarily been in top form in the past few weeks. The game in the Abe Lenstra Stadium starts on Thursday evening at 19:00 p.m.
Heerenveen :
Memories of the cup competition still gives die-hard fans of SC Heerenveen goose bumps. In 2008/09 the club managed to win the only title in the club’s history. Heerenveen has been represented in the Eredivisie for 28 years and is mostly in the middle of the league.
At the beginning of the season, head coach Johnny Jansen’s team seemed to have taken the next step in development. Heerenveen celebrated five wins in the first seven league games. But this strong start to the season has long been forgotten, because between matchday eight and 18 the Jansen-Elf remained unsuccessful eleven times in a row.
Ironically against cup opponents Feyenoord Rotterdam managed to step out of the crisis with a surprising 3-0 victory (January 27). An important breakthrough that was confirmed with a draw against Twente and a surprising win against Vitesse Arnheim.
The decisive factor for the upward trend of the last few days is certainly the newly gained stability on the defensive. After the 3-0 win against Feyenoord Rotterdam, goalkeeper Erwin Mulder was able to keep his box clean in the last two games. During the eleven games without a win, Heerenveen did not manage to get a “clean slate”.
With an average of “only” 2.67 goals per league game, relatively little spectacle is guaranteed at Heerenveen, with only four teams even fewer goals were scored this season.
Feyenoord Rotterdam :
The now 73-year-old Dick Advocaat is on his personal farewell tour. The veteran coach announced early on that he would be retiring after this season. With Arne Slot (previously AZ Alkmaar), the traditional club has already found a successor for the coming season.
Dick Advocaat has won a total of 16 titles in his long coaching career, the greatest success undoubtedly being the UEFA Cup victory with Zenit Saint Petersburg (2007/08). At the end of his career, the KNVB Beker is the last realistic title chance for Dick Advocaat.
Feyenoord Rotterdam is 5th in the domestic championship. already twelve points behind the industry leader Ajax Amsterdam.
In addition, winning the title would be a secure ticket for the group stage of the Europa League in the coming season. This year Feyenoord did not cover itself with international fame and was eliminated without singing and sounding in the preliminary round.
In autumn, however, the league went absolutely as desired and accordingly there was hardly any headwind for the Advocaat-Elf. After the EL-Aus and a weak phase in the league, things got a bit uncomfortable recently, because for the first time since January / February 2016 Feyenoord lost three games in a row. The step out of the crisis succeeded in the top game against PSV Eindhoven. Against one of Dick Advocaat’s ex-clubs, Feyenoord celebrated an immensely important 3-1 win.
