Heerenveen head into this clash with renewed confidence after a commanding 3-0 win over Heracles, showing no signs of missing long-term absentee Levi Smans. Given Feyenoord’s struggles on the road, we predict a 2-2 draw in Sunday’s matinee. Heerenveen’s recent turnaround is impressive: three straight victories in all competitions, 2.00 goals scored per match, and improved defensive output, highlighted by clean sheets in 30% of their games. At home, however, Heerenveen remain less convincing, conceding 2.00 goals per match and failing to score in one of three games.The Rotterdammers, meanwhile, continue to struggle for rhythm. Luciano Valenteâs suspension comes at a bad moment for a team that has taken just 0.60 points per game away from home of late. Defensive issues persistâconceding 2.20 goals on the road and failing to keep a clean sheet all season. Yet their attacking threat remains real: 1.20 away goals scored, expected goals of 1.72, and an 80% BTTS overall rate point to a match where they will likely find the net.
