Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Heerenveen
Match Time & Date:
17/03/2024
14:30
Prediction: 1-2
Feyenoord
Following a 2-0 loss to Nijmegen, Heerenveen will look to get back on course in the Eredivisie when they take on Feyenoord on Matchday 26. De Superfriezen did well to beat Zwolle in their last home game, but they will have a mountain to climb in Sunday’s encounter. The good news for the hosts is that talented midfielder Espen van Ee is back from suspension, while forward Che Nunnely is pushing for a start.
The Rotterdammers, on the other hand, faced no difficulties in a 3-0 win over Heracles and given their fine form in early March, we predict that the reigning champions are going to pick up all three points from the match. Barring any fresh injury worries, Arne Slot is unlikely to make changes to the team that outplayed Heracles at De Kuip. The 45-year-old tactician should stick to the 4-3-3 formation.
