Feyenoord

The Club on the Meuse have compensated for their slow start in the 2023–24 Eredivisie campaign to the fullest degree as their two-match winless run where they failed to claim maximum points due to two consecutive draws, a goalless draw against Fortuna Sittard at home and a 2-2 draw against Sparta Rotterdam on the road, has been converted into a two-match winning streak.

An awakening of a dominant display saw Almere City be on the receiving end as the Club on the Meuse unleashed their wrath, winning 6-1 at home, which was later followed by another breathtaking performance against FC Utrecht before the international break, winning 5-1 on the road.

Their commendable performance has seen them suffer just one defeat in their five competitive matches while picking up two draws and two wins. It's also worth noting that they are currently on a four-match unbeaten run and will be eager to make it five by claiming a comfortable win in this encounter, making it their second win at home for the season.

They currently occupy 4th place with 8 points, level with Sparta Rotterdam in 5th place and one point behind first place. Securing three points will be at the top of their bucket list as they aim for a first-place finish.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Wellenreuther; Nieuwkoop, Trauner, Hancko, Hartman; Timber, Wieffer; Paixao, Stengs, Ivanusec; Gimenez

Heerenveen

Heerenveen finished the previous season in 8th place with 46 points for the second consecutive year, having done so in the 2021–22 season only when they managed to accumulate 41 points.

This season, they kicked off the 2023–24 Eredivisie campaign on a positive note, picking up two consecutive wins against RKC Waalwjik (3-1) and FC Utrecht (2-0). However, that commendable run has turned out to be a struggle for consistency, as they currently find themselves on a two-match losing streak. Their last match before the international break was a 3-2 defeat against the Go Ahead Eagles on the road.

While Heerenveen will be hoping to bounce back and halt their losing streak, it'll prove to be an arduous task as they take on a side they have failed to defeat in their last seven away matches, picking up four losses and three draws.

They currently occupy 8th place with 6 points, level with four other teams in the league, and their bid for a first-place finish is hindered by a three-point deficit.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Noppert; Ali, Ottele, Bochniewicz, Kohlert; Tahiri, Haye; Nunnely, Olsson, Sahraoui; Nicolaescu

Expert Betting Tips

Feyenoord will look to pick up where they left off with their momentum before the international breaks as they seek to make it three consecutive wins in the Eredivisie while aiming for that first-place finish in the standings that is hindered by a two-point deficit.

Heerenveen, on the other hand, find themselves on the wrong side of consistency, losing two consecutive matches in the Eredivisie, and there's little to no chance that they will pose a threat in this one with motivation running low.

Feyenoord have won four of their last five matches in this encounter, with the total exceeding 2.5 goals in three of those matches. However, we are inclined to think that Heerenveen might also find themselves on the scoreboard, having found the back of the net in two of their away matches played in the league, though that won't be enough to avoid defeat.

As such, we anticipate Feyenoord to secure another three points comfortably, with goals to be seen at both ends of the pitch.
