Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-1
Breda
Heerenveen will be aiming to record their first win of the season when they welcome NAC Breda to their Abe Lenstra Stadion on Matchday 4. Heerenveen were not in action at the weekend, meaning that tired legs should not prove to be a big problem for the home side. Denmark forward Jacob Trenskow is pushing for his full Eredivisie debut after scoring as a substitute in a 1-1 draw with Utrecht, while midfielder Amara Conde should miss out with injury.
The Yellow-Blacks, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-1 loss to Utrecht and given their difficulties at the back, we believe that the time has come for Heerenveen to register their first triumph of the process. To make things even more complicated for the away side, talented midfielder Lars Mol misses the match through suspension following his sending-off at the weekend.
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.
