Both teams have scored in eight of the last nine meetings between Feyenoord and SC Heerenveen in all competitions.
Feyenoord’s star striker Santiago Giménez has scored four goals in his last three appearances against Heerenveen.

A correct score prediction for this match is Feyenoord 3-1 SC Heerenveen. Feyenoord’s power at De Kuip is almost irresistible, and their high-octane attacking style should prove too much for a Heerenveen side that has shown defensive vulnerabilities this season. While the visitors consistently manage to score against Feyenoord and will likely get on the scoresheet again, the home side’s superior quality and relentless offensive pressure should see them score multiple goals and secure a convincing victory in front of an expectant crowd.

Team News Home

Feyenoord manager Brian Priske has a strong squad to choose from, with only a couple of minor concerns. Goalkeeper Justin Bijlow is a doubt with a wrist injury, which means Timon Wellenreuther is poised to continue between the sticks. Key midfielder Quinten Timber is expected to return to the starting lineup after being rested for their midweek European fixture, providing a significant boost to the team’s engine room.

Team News Away

Heerenveen’s manager Robin van Persie, returning to face his former club, will be without starting right-back Oliver Braude, who is serving a suspension. His absence will force a defensive reshuffle. On a positive note, top scorer Pelle van Amersfoort has been declared fit after overcoming a minor knock and will be crucial to his team’s chances of getting a positive result at De Kuip.
