Prediction: 2-2
Heerenveen
Almere City and Heerenveen face each other at Yanmar Stadion in the opening match of the Eredivisie round 32. Almere City aim to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Sparta Rotterdam and Twente, but they have little to play for in the season finale. Kornelius Norman Hansen is widely expected to return to the starting XI after coming as a substitute in the last league match, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The visitors, on the other hand, aim to recover from an embarrassing 8-0 loss to newly-promoted champions PSV. As Heerenveen are likely to adopt an attack-oriented strategy in Friday’s clash, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Kees van Wonderen should have a full squad to choose from against Almere. Earlier this season Heerenveen defeated Almere City 3-1 and yet another high-scoring contest is on the cards.
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.
