Heerenveen

Form: LWWLW

Heerenveen were disappointed not to have picked up something from their match against NEC Nijmegen on the road over the weekend, as they suffered a convincing 2-0 defeat. Having attempted 12 shots, it came as a surprise that neither of those were able to find the target, and their inefficiency in the final third could cost them yet another favorable outcome against an in-form Feyenoord side. 

However, suffering just two defeats in seven league matches (W3 D2) may provide them with a faint ray of hope that they could potentially spring a surprise at the Abe Lenstra Stadion, where they've been alternating mostly between defeats and wins in the last five matches (L2, W2 D1).

With 31 points amassed in 25 matches played, Heerenveen currently sits in ninth place in the Eredivisie standings, two points behind tenth-placed Fortuna Sittard and two points behind eighth-placed FC Utrecht, who occupy the Europa Conference League qualifier spot. 

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-2-3-1 

M. van der Hart; O. Johansen Braude, S. van Beek, P. Bochniewicz, M. Köhlert; T. Haye, S. Olsson; P. Wålemark, L. Brouwers, O. Sahraoui; P. van Amersfoort

Feyenoord

Form: WDWWW

On the flip side, Feyenoord were grinning from ear to ear as they eked out a comfortable 3-0 victory over Heracles Almelo at home to secure a crucial three points in their bid to catch up to runaway leaders PSV Eindhoven. 

The Pride of the South have picked up five wins from their last six league matches, with a 2-2 draw against PSV Eindhoven being the only exception. It's also worth noting that they kept a tight ship with five clean sheets in those matches, which is par for the course given their rock-solid defense, boasting the second-best defensive record in the league with nineteen goals conceded in 25 matches. This has been the cornerstone of their success this season. 

With 59 points amassed in 25 matches played, Feyenoord currently sit in second place in the Eredivisie standings, ten points behind first-placed PSV Eindhoven, and have maintained a six-point cushion over third-placed FC Twente.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-3-3

T. Wellenreuther; L. Geertruida, T. Beelen, D. Hancko, Q. Hartman; Q. Timber, R. Zerrouki, M. Wieffer; Y. Minteh, S. Giménez, L. Ivanušec
