Heerenveen vs Willem II Prediction & Betting tips
The last Friday evening contest in the Eredivisie this season is between SC Heerenveen and Willem II. The Frisians certainly looked for a playoff ticket before the winter break, but now they have to worry about Friesland. If Willem II wins today at the Abe Lenstra Stadium, the Tilburgers have only one point behind the Frisians and today is still at stake.
Heerenveen :
Last weekend, Heerenveen went down again. The Frisians lost thirteen matches this season and no less than nine of them were defeated in 2017. After the 4-2 loss team visiting Vitesse, Jurgen Streppel’s team went to Ajax on Sunday afternoon. The visitors of Friesland were first to reach a ball launched long through the center from Reza Ghoochannejhad, but the home side’s 3-1 left defense resulted in the visitors taking the lead. In the second half, the Amsterdammers wandered over the Frisians, and if Heerenveen was lucky they ended up 5-1. Heerenveen defender and Anderlecht renter Wout Faes missed three of the five goals of Ajax, but Streppel did not want to push the Belgian defeat after the match. “It’s logical that he made mistakes. But that has to be done. Nevertheless, we should not only focus on Wout, because defending you with all of them. ”
The defeat in the Amsterdam Arena was again the eighth finishing line for Heerenveen in a row. In the last four games, Heerenveen goalkeeper Erwin Mulder collected seventeen hits and, according to Streppel, there is also the problem with his team: “We must defend much better, ruthless.” According to defender Jerry St. Juste, it’s not good at the mentality of The Frisians. ‘Football must be accompanied by points and passion, otherwise nothing is possible. Fight and passion must be much more with us. “, St Juste said after the game against Ajax.
For the Frisians there is still work at the store in the last three games. Streppel’s team picked up only eleven points in 2017 and the lead at Heracles Almelo is only three points. If the Frisians play the last three games as they did in the last months, they can sometimes take part in the playoffs. Any highlight this season is Spitz Ghoochannejhad. The Iranian is already on eighteen hits and will of course still try to find the Feyenoord striker Jørgensen. The fact that Reza made eleven hits in 2017 and made this calendar year more than the Heerenveen top scorer of 2016 – Sam Larsson and Arber Zeneli – actually said enough about Reza’s form.
Probable setup SC Heerenveen
Mulder; Marzo, St. Juste, Aachen, Bijker; Schaars, van Amersfoort, Kobayashi; Slagveer, Ghoochannejhad, Larsson.
Willem II :
At Willem II she does not mind that Heerenveen is performing so badly in recent months. The Tilburgers lost the last three games, but did win again last weekend. After the loss of defeat against FC Groningen, FC Utrecht, ADO The Hague and Willem II, the Tricolores managed to win on Saturday’s Go Ahead Eagles. In a bad game, the Tilburg arrived only after seventy minutes on goal by Fran Sol. Ten minutes after the opening race, Jari Schuurman decided the duel on behalf of the Tilburgers. Van de Looi told after the match that he was not satisfied with the first half of his team: “I was quite annoyed, but kept calm. I did not have the idea that the boys did not want, but we just did not get along. “In addition, two invaders made the goals on behalf of Willem II and grabbed the Willem II coach’s tricks.
It would be very nice if Van de Looi knows with this team to enter a playoff ticket. The Willem coach started this season with 27 different base teams, but Kostas Lamprou did play every match this season. The Greek is often broken down, but this season there is nothing on the goalkeeper. Against Go Ahead Eagles, 25-year-old Lamprou kept cleaning his tent goal for the tenth time this season and for the first time since 1998/1999 a Willem II goalkeeper succeeded in the Eredivisie. With Lamprou in the goal, the Tilburg team is making another throw to European football and Van de Looi still believes that it is possible: “We still have the chance to catch Heracles and FC Groningen. It’s very simple: if there is another chance, you have to get it. ”
Probable setup Willem II
Lamprou; Ojo, Lachman, Peters, van Anholt; Lieftink, Falkenburg, Kali Haye; Oularé, Sol.
