Heerenveen vs Willem II Prediction & Betting tips
SC Heerenveen and Willem II are the first two teams to take part in this premier league weekend. Both teams are in good shape. Both the Frisians and the people from Brabant can cherish European ambitions.
SC Heerenveen:
SC Heerenveen won the seventh time this season last week. On a visit to RKC Waalwijk, the Frisians dropped somewhat after a good start. The match seemed to end in a draw, but Heerenveen managed to get the full loot. In Waalwijk, the club from Friesland finally left the field with a 1-3 win. Because of that new win, the team of Johnny Jansen is still in a nice fifth place, a position under the opponent of Friday night, Willem II.
Heerenveen closes the calendar year with three home duels. Next weekend, the match in the Abe Lenstra Stadium against Heracles Almelo is still on the program, while Wednesday Roda JC comes to visit for the cup. Jansen’s team seems to be able to seriously participate this season in the play-offs for European football. In the game from last week, Anders Dreyer scored on goal point. However, the Deen will not have played Chidera Ejuke from the starting line due to the goal in Waalwijk. Many changes to Jansen’s basic eleven are not obvious.
Willem II:
The club from Tilburg last Friday provided one of the biggest surprises of this season. Ajax seemed to be almost unbeatable, certainly in the premier league, but the Tilburg team managed to beat the North Hollanders. In Amsterdam, Willem II did business tactically well. This coupled with the rough game of Ajax, plus a small portion of luck, made the Brabanders win 1-2. Afterwards, the players bus in Tilburg was met by enthusiastic fans of the Ticolores, who had watched the match against Ajax on a screen in their own stadium.
“Heerenveen took steps during the season,” coach Adrie Koster analyzed the upcoming opponent of his club against his own media. “It’s just a very tough opponent,” said Koster, who cannot have the suspended midfielder Pol Llonch on Friday. Damil Dankerlui, who fell against Ajax with a goal, is a possible substitute for the Spaniard.
