Heerenveen
Out-of-sorts Almere City will try to put an end to their six-game losing run in the Eredivisie when they take on Heerenveen on Matchday 17. Almere City failed to shock Ajax at John Cruijff Arena, with the team remaining in the ultimate position in the standings and they must be low on confidence ahead of Saturday’s encounter. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the home team, Indonesia midfielder Thom Haye should sneak into the starting XI.
De Superfriezen, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Willem II and PSV. As Heerenveen produced a brilliant display, both defensively and offensively in the triumph over the title holders, away win should be considered. Moldova forward Ion Nicolaescu is pushing for a recall to the starting XI after scoring the winner as a substitute against PSV, while both Pawel Bochniewicz and Jakob Trenskow remain in the treatment room.
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.
