National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's SC Heerenveen or De Treffers that keep their silverware dream alive.
SC Heerenveen and De Treffers should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
SC Heerenveen form and stats
This is not the first game this season in the KNVB Beker for SC Heerenveen, as the manager Jansen led his troops to eliminate AFC, and reach the 2nd Round. Last season their KNVB Beker adventure ended in the semi-finals.3 victories, 2 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what SC Heerenveen have to build on here at Abe Lenstra Stadion in the Eredivisie. Two draws in a row at home now for SC Heerenveen.
SC Heerenveen are confident in defense, having played 257 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.
The home supporters saw a 0-0 draw versus Sparta Rotterdam in the Eredivisie last time out and are looking for a win here. Xavier Mous, who guards the goal, was given a match rating of 7.4 out of 10 in that game. Mous stopped the opponent with three saves and topped it up with a clean sheet.
Before that match, a Eredivisie win away at Heracles.There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for SC Heerenveen as they are travelling to their away game against SC Cambuur in the Eredivisie. That match is three days after this one.
Heerenveen are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 11 goals in 9 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 14 goals have been conceded.
De Treffers form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated ODIN '59 and Rijnsburgse Boys in order to reach 2nd round of KNVB Beker. Treffers's mission in KNVB Beker last season failed in the 2nd preliminary round.Playing away, De Treffers have won 3 games, drawn 1 and suffered 2 defeats in the Tweede Divisie this season.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Treffers, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 1-4 versus Rijnsburgse Boys.
Before that, Treffers secured a home win against Volendam II with the score 3-2.Nobody expects Treffers to collect anything from a game like this. The team has been David versus Goliath 20 times before, with the overall statistics of won seven, draw four and lost nine. When defeated, six matches have been lost by two or more goals.
Treffers are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 9 times in 6 away games so far. As opposed to that, De Treffers have seen the ball go into their own net 7 times on the road.
