Heerenveen
GelreDome will host Saturday’s Eredivisie game between Vitesse and Heerenveen, the two teams who have yet to record a triumph in the 2022/2023 season. The Vitas aim to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Feyenoord (2-5) and Excelsior (1-3), and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Heerenveen. Midfielder Sondre Tronstad is banned for the match, while goalkeeper Markus Schubert continues to miss out with injury.
De Superfriezen, on the other hand, kicked off the new Eredivisie campaign with back-to-back draws against Sparta Rotterdam and Feyenoord. Anyhow, both teams to score betting option should be considered as both sides are desperate to register their first triumph of the season. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Arnhem. You should know that both teams found the net in eight of their last nine previous meetings in the Dutch top flight.
Highlighted Player (Riechedly Bazoer):
Despite playing for PSV during his youth career, Riechedly Bazoer made his Eredivisie debut with Ajax. The central midfielder who was born on 12 October, 1996 in Utrecht, scored his first goal for Ajax on 15 February, 2015 in a 4-2 victory over Twente.
Four days later he made his European debut with the Amsterdammers, taking part in a 1-0 win over Legia in the Europa League. Bazoer scored five goals in 29 league appearances for Ajax in the 2015/2016 season, but he failed to win the domestic trophy with Frank de Boer’s troops.
Speaking of his international career, Bazoer has two caps for Netherlands U21 team and he made his debut for the first team on 13 November, 2015 against Wales. It has to be noted that he came as a late substitute in the 3-2 victory over the Dragons. Back in 2012 the right-footed midfielder won the UEFA U17 European Championship with the Dutch national team.
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.
