Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 3-2
Volendam
Heerenveen will be aiming to make a flying start to their Eredivisie campaign when they take on Volendam on Saturday. Heerenveen did well to make it to the Conference League playoffs last season, but they will not represent Netherlands in European competitions this term. Even though de Superfriezen failed to record a win in preseason, they are seen as favourites to win their season opener.
Volendam, on the other hand, aim to impress on their return to the Dutch top flight. As both sides will go for a win in Saturday’s clash, we believe that there is a big value in betting on over 2.5 goals. In their last meeting in Eredivisie, Heerenveen rolled over Volendam 4-0. Summer signing Dylan Vente will be the man to watch in the home team, while Heerenveen defenders should have top scorer Henk Veerman at bay.
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.
