Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Heerenveen and NEC go head to head at Abe Lenstra Stadion in the Eredivisie round 22. Heerenveen suffered a dip in form, with the team losing each of their last four league fixtures. De Superfriezen are eager to get back on course in the national championship, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at NEC. Since Ole Tobiasen has a full squad to choose from, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the hosts.
The visitors, on the other hand, failed to win the previous three league fixtures, and seeing that Heerenveen are determined to put an end to the negative trend, home win should be considered. All Pedro Ruiz, Joep van der Sluijs, Mathias de Wolf, and Rens Van Eijden are rated doubtful for the visiting side. In the first half of the season the two teams played out a 1-1 draw.
Highlighted Player (Erwin Mulder):
Erwin Mulder is an experienced Dutch footballer who plays for Heerenveen as a goalkeeper. Mulder spent his youth career at R.K.P.S.C, Vitesse Arnhem, and Feyenoord, and he continued playing for the Rotterdam club at senior level.
After making 120 appearances in the Eredivisie with Feyenoord, the 193-cm-tall shot-stopper signed for Heerenveen as a free agent in the summer of 2015. It has to be noted, though, that Erwin Mulder was loaned to Excelsior during his spell with Feyenoord. His next stop was Swansea City where he made 29 league appearances before returning to Heerenveen in 2020.
Erwin Mulder was born in Pannerden on March 3, 1989, and he has three caps with the Netherlands U20 team. He has yet to earn a call-up with the Oranje senior team. The Heerenveen goalkeeper was named in the Netherlands Euro 2012 provisional squad, but after the training with the national team, he failed to make the cut.
