SC Heerenveen form and stats

SC Heerenveen have played 14 Eredivisie games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-2-7 (wins-draws-losses).

The fans are hoping that Heerenveen will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-4 away loss in the game against Sparta Rotterdam (placed 5th). The first defeat after going unbeaten through three league rounds. As you see from the result above, SC Heerenveen suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one. Midfielder Haye was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.13 (out of ten) in that game. Haye hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 55 successful passes (of 60 total).

Previous to that game, a home match hosting FC Volendam in a game that was won 2-1.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from SC Heerenveen's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 4 games, won 3 matches, drawn 1 and lost 0.

The SC Heerenveen fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 17 in 14 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 23 goals have been conceded.

FC Emmen form and stats

There's been little loot from FC Emmen's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 14 away games in the Eredivisie. FC Emmen only have 2 wins to counter their 11 defeats and 1 draw.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Emmen, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-3 versus Ajax (placed 2nd). It is a bit worrying for FC Emmen that their goalie der Hart made seven saves in the Ajax game, but still couldn't save them from a loss.

Ahead of that game was the 0-0 draw at home against NEC.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting FC Emmen as they have only managed to score 11 times from 14 away games in the league. For Emmen, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
