It was a bad day at the office for Rob Van Persie and his team on Thursday as they were dumped out of the KNVB Beker following a 3-2 defeat against third-tier Quick Boys.
However, that shouldn't throw a spanner in the works for a side that has witnessed an upturn in form when it comes to league duties. They have racked up ten points from a possible 15 in their last five outings (W3, D1, L1).
In their most recent match in the league, they secured a comfortable 4-2 away win against NAC Breda. This was consolation for their defeat against Almere City, which saw them concede three goals without reply.
Probable Starting XI
Formation: 4-5-1
Van der Hart; Hall, Hopland, De Wijs, Kohlert; Conde, Linday, Nunnely, Smans, Trenskow; Rallis

Ajax Amsterdam share the same frustration as Heerenveen as they too found themselves on the wrong end of a 2-0 scoreline against Eredivisie counterparts AZ Alkmaar in the KNVB Beker round of 16.
In their defense, winning a domestic league cup wasn't part of their long-term goals this season, with their eyes locked on the league title. They are serious contenders to dethrone reigning champions PSV Eindhoven, as they are four points behind the top spot.
Coming into this game, the Amsterdammers saw off the threat of relegation-threatened RKC Waalwijk winning 2-1 at home. This result extended their winning streak in the league to three matches, and they will be hoping to add a fourth.
Probable Starting XI
Formation: 4-3-3
Pasveer; Rensch, Rugani, Baas, Hato; Henderson, Fitz-Jim, Taylor; Berghuis, Godts, Brobbey

Expert Betting Tips
Ajax Amsterdam has lived up to expectations this season, and while some fans may feel there are still signs of floundering in their team's performance, they'll be grateful for the progress head coach Francisco Farioli has made so far.
If league form is anything to go by, the visitors are undeniably the better side on paper, and while I may feel they'll be able to pick up maximum points here, I do also like the chances of Heerenveen getting on the scoreboard. The hosts have been unassailable on home turf this season, but their days of dominance will come to an end this Sunday.
