SC Heerenveen go into this clash following a 1-2 Eredivisie win with the defeat of Vitesse in their most recent outing.

In that game, SC Heerenveen managed 53% possession and 1 shots on goal with 1 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for SC Heerenveen was Amin Sarr (75', 83'). For their opponents, Vitesse got 1 shots at goal with 0 on target. Matúš Bero (45') was the scorer for Vitesse.

Proving their partiality to high-scoring encounters, we’ve seen goals 20 times in the previous 6 matches in which SC Heerenveen have sent out their troops, making it a mean average of 3.33 goals per fixture. Opposing teams have got 8 of these goals. That aside, time will tell whether the trend will be sustained in this next game or not.

ℹ️ Team News: Ajax

Sean Klaiber (Cruciate Ligament Rupture), Zakaria Labyad (Knee Injury), Charlie Setford (Fractured Hand), Lisandro Martínez (Muscle Injury), Perr Schuurs (Knock), André Onana (Groin Injury), Remko Pasveer (Fractured Finger), Ryan Gravenberch (Ankle Injury) and Antony (Ankle Injury) won’t be playing for Ajax manager Erik ten Hag.

It’s our opinion that de Godenzonen may well employ a 4-3-1-2 system for this one, beginning the first half with Maarten Stekelenburg, Devyne Rensch, Jurrien Timber, Daley Blind, Nicolas Tagliafico, Davy Klaassen, Edson Alvarez, Kenneth Taylor, Dusan Tadic, Sebastien Haller and Brian Brobbey.

🗞️ Team News: SC Heerenveen

From a largely full-strength group, there is only the lone fitness issue for the SC Heerenveen manager Ole Tobiasen to contend with. Joost van Aken (Unknown Injury) won’t be playing here.

We’re of the thinking that De Superfriezen might begin the game with a 3-5-2 lineup, choosing Erwin Mulder, Lucas Woudenberg, Ibrahim Dresevic, Sven van Beek, Milan van Ewijk, Anas Tahiri, Tibor Halilovic, Thom Haye, Rami Kaib, Amin Sarr and Sydney van Hooijdonk.

⚡ Prediction

We feel that in this game, Ajax will, in all likelihood, convert a lot of goal-scoring opportunities.

At the same time, SC Heerenveen won’t find it easy getting goals although we do see them converting at least once here, too.

We’re therefore expecting to see a decent 3-1 winning score for Ajax at full-time.
