Willem II vs Heerenveen — Tips & Analysis

Heerenveen -0.5: Willem II have been taken apart since coming up, and that is the case for backing Heerenveen. Willem II have lost both of their league games 1-4 and sit 16th with no points. Their record of 10 wins in 15 was built mostly in the division below, so it flatters them badly. They are also without first choice goalkeeper Didillon Hodl, along with Culum, Lachkar, Schuurman and Zarrouk. That is a lot of the spine of a team already letting in goals in bunches. Heerenveen are far from convincing themselves. They have scored only three goals in three league games and have won 7 of their last 15. What they do have is a hold over this opponent. Heerenveen have won 10 of the last 19 meetings between the two, including the last two, 3-1 and 2-1. Willem II have had 15 days without a game, so they should start with fresh legs and may well get a goal. A 1-2 away win is how this reads, and we only need Heerenveen to come out on top. The caution here is real. Heerenveen have been much weaker away from home, and they let in more than a goal a game. Willem II score more than a goal a game and will be at it early. We still make Heerenveen the side with enough in this one.
