Heerenveen vs PSV Prediction & Betting tips
PSV travels this weekend to Friesland where the Eindhoven players take part in the Abe Lenstra Stadium against SC Heerenveen. Philip Cocu’s team managed to win all three competitions and will return to Feyenoord next week with three points to Eindhoven.
Heerenveen :
SC Heerenveen is still undefeated in the Eredivisie, but the Frisians only managed to pick up five points from the first three games. In the first league competition this season, the Frisians in the Derby of the North played 3-3 against FC Groningen and a week later Heerenveen made a point in the final phase at the home match against Heracles: 1-1. Two weeks ago, Heerenveen managed to win the season’s first league competition, as 1-2 were won by ADO The Hague by two goals from midfielder Morten Thorsby. The 21-year-old Noor has scored four times in three league matches and is therefore top scorer with AZ striker Wout Weghorst, all in all, Noor, who was often a kid of last season at Streppel, this season is very important been for the Frisians.
Thorsby is not the only Norwegian in the selection of Heerenveen, because by attracting Nicolai Naess last week, the number of Norwegians in the Heerenveen selection is three. The midfielder who could also be a defender from last week’s Wednesday of the American Columbus Crew. In addition, SC Heerenveen with Martin Hansen also attracted an additional goalkeeper, probably because of Warner Hahn’s injury. The 27-year-old Danish goalkeeper knows them at PSV all too well; he made the equalizer as a goalkeeper on behalf of ADO The Hague in the first 2015/2016 competition match against PSV. In contrast to attracting Naess and Hansen, Joost van Aken said in the final week he would still move to Championship club Sheffield Wednesday.
By the departure of Van Aken, the rinse in the back at SC Heerenveen is very thin. Streppel has only six players who will be able to divide four positions in this season, if you qualify as a defender. In addition, it is only questionable whether talent Kik Pierie (17 years) can play a whole season at the highest level and Doke Schmidt has been in the lead over the past few years with an injury injury. The Frisians have started the competition so well, but Streppel is still fighting for the poor: “I’m very happy with the spirit in the group, the way we work. There is a swung in, but we can wait for it. ”
PSV:
As with Ajax, they can not really tell PSV that they have started the season. The Eindhoveners competed in the front of the Europa League against NK Osijek (0-2 in both matches) and the pressure on Philip Cocu was immense. The PSV trainer managed to reduce the final competitions, because PSV took nine points from the first three games. The Eindhoveners managed to win AZ (3-2), NAC Breda (1-4) and Roda JC (2-0), but victory over AZ and Roda JC was very critical. In the home game against AZ, the Alkmaarers could, in principle, just play or win, because Cocu’s team did not play well. For the interlandbreak, PSV managed to win 2-0 from Roda JC, but the Eindhoven players had to score more and the PSV defense did not work too well. The Church Councils did not know what to do, but that’s more about the quality of the Roda attackers than with the PSV defense game.
At PSV last week, it was still very troubled, and it could have consequences for the rest of this season. First, Marcel Brands did not know to present a new leftback, while promised to the supporters. With Kenneth Paal, there is actually only one player in the selection that can play as a backback, because Joshua Brenet has never played well in that position. The reason that, for example, leftback Douglas Costa did not make the move to the Philips Stadium this summer has to do with the deletion of a number of transfers – mainly the failure of the transfer from Luuk de Jong to Bordeaux has soaked in the food. In addition, Santiago Arias and mainly Jeroen Zoet and Jürgen Locadia still hoped for a transfer, but PSV left a stick. For example, Locadia was already approved by Wolverhampton Wanderers and PSV would get twelve million for the lead, but PSV decided to keep Locadia in Eindhoven.
For Marcel Brands it was, of course, very difficult to get replacements as soon as possible. Nevertheless, almost everyone agrees that you should have just accepted a 12-million-bid on Locadia because, with Luuk de Jong, you’ll still have a spit in the selection that would just make its goals. It is now a little awaiting how these PSV players will be setting up in the coming months, because a Locadia may, for example, be extra annoying for the group due to such a failed transfer. Despite everything that has happened in Eindhoven over the last few weeks, it has to be possible for PSV to compete a lot longer for the championship than last season.
