Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Mandemakers Stadion will host Saturday’s football game between RKC Waalwijk and Heerenveen. RKC have a chance to escape the relegation zone and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Heerenveen. Shawn Adewoye limped off with injury in a 1-1 draw with Excelsior in the last league match, with Jurien Gaari likely to step up.
De Superfriezen, on the other hand, produced a fine display in a 3-2 loss to title holders Feyenoord, which is probably the main reason why we predict they will grab something from Saturday’s encounter. Taking everything into account, we believe that punter from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. A man to watch in the away team will be left-back Mats Kohlert, who scored a brace in the last league match, while midfielder Luuk Brouwers continues to miss out with injury.
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.
