Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Heerenveen
Match Time & Date:
12/05/2024
14:30
Prediction: 2-1
Vitesse
Both Heerenveen and Vitesse will be with guards down when they take on Abe Lenstra Stadion on the penultimate day of the season. De Superfriezen missed out on a spot in the Conference League playoffs, but their pride will be at stake in Sunday’s clash. All Nicolaescu, Walemark, and Bochiewicz are pushing for a start as Paul Simonis is expected to shuffle his pack. Simonis has no fresh injury concerns.
The Vitas, on the other hand, failed to secure the elite division survival and given their poor away record, we predict that Heerenveen are going to pick up all three points from the match. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team, but both Davy Propper and Mexx Meerdink remain doubtful. In the first half of the season Heerenveen defeated Vitesse at GelreDome, which goes in favour of our earlier prediction.
Highlighted Team (Heerenveen):
Heerenveen is a Dutch football club that is well known for their white shirts with blue stripes. De Superfriezen (The Super Frisians) play home matches at Abe Lenstra Stadium, which has the capacity of 26,400 people.
Heerenveen have yet to win the Eredivisie title, but they impressed in the 1999/00 season, with the team finishing the process in second position in the standings. Thanks to a top-two finish, the club booked their place in the Champions League. Heerenveen, though, recorded only one in the group stages of the elite competition as they defeated Olympiakos 1-0 at home ground. De Superfizien retain a fierce rivals with Cambuur, and there have always been fireworks in clashes between the two teams.
It has to be noted that Heerenveen won the Dutch Cup in the 2008/09 season, with the team beating Twente on penalties in the title game. New Chelsea signing Hakim Ziyech played for Heerenveen at the start of his senior career.
