SC Heerenveen

WLWLLD

SC Heerenveen will play in this fixture following on from a 3-3 Eredivisie tied result against FC Twente.

For SC Heerenveen, the goals were scored by Milan van Ewijk (59') and Rami Kaib (90'). Mees Hilgers (25' Own goal), Robin Pröpper (34'), Manfred Ugalde (48') and Václav Černý (55') scored for FC Twente.

Three or more goals per match were seen in 5 of the last 6 meetings where SC Heerenveen have participated. Opposition teams scored 12 times in this period whereas SC Heerenveen managed a tally of 9.

Analysis of their past results shows that SC Heerenveen:

• have not beaten Ajax in their last 27 league matches. They'll surely be desperate to put an end to that run.
• haven’t won at home in the past 3 matches in the league.

Ajax

DWLWWW 📈

Ajax will go into the encounter following a 1-0 Eredivisie win over NEC in their most recent match.

The only name on the scoresheet from Ajax was Mohammed Kudus (52').

A run of effective showings by the Ajax defence has resulted in the number of goals they’ve conceded amounting to 4 from their past 6 fixtures overall. In that time, their forwards have scored 11. That trend won’t necessarily be continued into this next game, however.

A look at their previous results shows us that Ajax:

• have not been beaten by SC Heerenveen when they have played them away from home in the previous 13 league matches. They have just been so solid on their travels against them.
• are unbeaten in their previous 8 league matches away from home. What a good run they have put together.

🤜🤛 Head to head

Checking on their past head to head results going back to 18/10/2020 shows that these fixtures have not been happy ones for SC Heerenveen. They have not managed to come away with any victories whatsoever while Ajax have been superior, finishing as winners in 100 per cent of those match-ups.

A lot of goals were also scored during this period, 24 in total at an average of 4 goals per meeting.

The last league fixture between the two was Eredivisie match day 6 on 10/09/2022 which finished with the scoreline of Ajax 5-0 SC Heerenveen.

The referee was Edwin van de Graaf.

ℹ️ Team News: SC Heerenveen

Sven van Beek (Achilles tendon problems) and Andries Noppert (Muscle Injury) won’t be able to feature for SC Heerenveen manager Kees van Wonderen.

We are thinking that De Superfriezen will possibly go for a 4-2-3-1 formation in the match, beginning the first half with Xavier Mous, Milan van Ewijk, Jeffrey Bruma, Pawel Bochniewicz, Mats Koehlert, Anas Tahiri, Simon Olsson, Osame Sahraoui, Pelle van Amersfoort, Che Nunnely and D. Seland Karlsbakk.

ℹ️ Team News: Ajax

From a largely available group, there is just a single fitness issue for the Ajax manager John Heitinga to be concerned with. Ahmetcan Kaplan (Torn knee ligament) misses out for this game.

It’s our belief that de Godenzonen will likely begin the game with a 4-3-3 formation, choosing Geronimo Rulli, Devyne Rensch, Jurrien Timber, Calvin Bassey, Owen Wijndal, Steven Berghuis, Edson Alvarez, Davy Klaassen, Mohammed Kudus, Dusan Tadic and Steven Bergwijn.

✨ Prediction

In our opinion, SC Heerenveen have enough to score against this Ajax lineup, although one goal is unlikely to be enough to avoid a loss.

We are therefore anticipating a narrow 1-2 victory for Ajax at the end of the 90 minutes. Looking forward to seeing how this one unfolds.
