📰 Team News: SC Heerenveen

Jacob Trenskow (unknown injury) and Pawel Bochniewicz (Torn knee ligaments) won’t be playing for SC Heerenveen gaffer Robin Veldman.

It looks as if De Superfriezen will probably use the 4-2-3-1 formation this time, beginning the first half with Andries Noppert, Oliver Braude, Sam Kersten, Nikolai Hopland, Mats Koehlert, Espen van Ee, Luuk Brouwers, Alireza Jahanbakhsh, Levi Smans, Ilias Sebaoui and Ion Nicolaescu.

📋 Team News: Willem II

It’s our belief that Tricolores seem most likely to make use of a 5-3-2 formation using Thomas Didillon, Tommy St. Jago, Erik Schouten, Raffael Behounek, Nick Doodeman, Rob Nizet, Jesse Bosch, Amine Lachkar, Patrick Joosten, Youssuf Sylla and Ringo Meerveld.

🧠 Prediction

We’re inclined to think that SC Heerenveen will most probably score more than once when they line up against Willem II, who won’t find it easy to score.

We can therefore see a fairly comfortable 2-0 winning margin for SC Heerenveen when the full-time whistle blows.
