📋 Team News: SC Heerenveen

It seems likely that De Superfriezen could opt for a 4-2-3-1 system this time, beginning the first half with Andries Noppert, Oliver Braude, Sam Kersten, Nikolai Hopland, Hristiyan Petrov, Levi Smans, Luuk Brouwers, Jacob Trenskow, Milos Lukovic, Eser Gurbuz and Mats Koehlert.

ℹ️ Team News: Feyenoord

Feyenoord manager Robin van Persie has to choose a team with limited availability. Facundo González (unknown injury), Thomas Beelen (Knock), Quinten Timber (Torn lateral knee ligament), Luka Ivanušec (unknown injury), Shiloh 't Zand (Knee surgery), Chris-Kévin Nadje (Foot surgery), Justin Bijlow (Knee injury), Bart Nieuwkoop (Leg injury) and Jordan Lotomba (Lower leg fracture) miss out here.

From our viewpoint, De club aan de Maas might play in a 4-2-3-1 system by sending out Timon Wellenreuther, Givairo Read, Gernot Trauner, David Hancko, Quilindschy Hartman, Jakub Moder, Oussama Targhalline, Anis Hadj Moussa, Calvin Stengs, Igor Paixao and Ayase Ueda.

🔮 Prediction

Our thinking is that Feyenoord will most probably have the majority of the possession and should turn some of their chances into goals.

In contrast, SC Heerenveen could well find it tough scoring goals, although we do see them being dangerous for periods.

Our selection here is for a 1-3 winning score for Feyenoord after 90 minutes.
