Heerenveen vs Feyenoord Prediction & Match Preview

Heerenveen will on Sunday host Feyenoord at Abe Lenstra Stadion in a clash of huge interest. Feyenoord will be out for maximum points to keep alive their title chase. They currently sit 10 points adrift of league leaders PSV.

The host would want to avoid a repeat of their last league result following a 2-0 loss against NEC. Heerenveen had much of the ball possession (51%) and created 12 attempts on goal with none on target. Koki Ogawa and Rober scored for NEC on the day.

The loss last weekend was their 3rd in the last 9 matches. During the period, they recorded 3 wins and had 3 draws.

Ahead of this match, Heerenveen are without a win against Feyenoord in their last 5 league games.

Feyenoord will look to build on their 3-0 win over Heracles Almelo last weekend. Coming from a draw in the previous game against league leaders PSV, it was a perfect response. They had more possession (58%) and created 20 opportunities with 5 on target. Yankuba Minteh, Santiago Giménez, and Igor Paixão scored the goals for Feyenoord.

Last weekend’s win was their 5th in the last 6 games in the league. They have not lost to Heerenveen when they have played them on the road in the last 2 league matches.

Recent Meetings

Feyenoord won four of their last five head-to-head meetings with Heerenveen. On one occasion they played a goalless draw.

The last time Heerenveen defeated Feyenoord in the league was back in January of 2021. It was a comprehensive 3-0 win for Heerenveen.

The reverse fixture played earlier in the season ended 6-1 in favor of Feyenoord. Ivanusec, Wieffer, Paixao, Gimenez, Minteh, and Lingr with the goals for Feyenoord.

In the last seven head-to-head league meetings, over 2.5 goals emerged in six games.

Heerenveen vs Feyenoord Prediction

Feyenoord will draw inspiration from their last away match against PSV which ended 2-2. They appear to be in the form of their life right now and Heerenveen doesn’t look like a team good enough to stop them. Title-chasing Feyenoord will nick the win.

I also have the feeling that the home side will score at least a goal in the match. Records show that they tend to find the back of the net most time they play at home. Backing Feyenoord win and both teams to score at 2.73 odds looks attractive.

Goals will flow in this match, with records backing the home team to score. Form also backs Feyenoord to score goals and win. I’m backing over 2.5 goals.
