Team News

SC Heerenveen
Almere City FC
  • Heerenveen head coach Robin Veldman will be without Oliver Braude, Jordy de Wijs, and Pawel Bochniewicz this weekend.
  • Norwegian right-back Braude came off injured in their 3-1 loss at Sparta Rotterdam last time out and should be replaced in the starting lineup by Hussein Ali.
  • Others looking to get the nod from the outset include winger Jacob Trenskow, as well as centre-forwards Milos Lukovic and Dimitris Rallis, after leading marksman Ion Nicolaescu blanked.
  • Nicolaescu and Jacob Trenskow have proved attacking threats for Heerenveen this season. Nicolaescu is the club's leading scorer with six goals, three of those having been the crucial first of the match. Trenskow has been nearly as impressive, scoring five times, including two match-openers.
  • Injured duo Alex Carbonell and Jochem Ritmeester van de Kamp are the only players unavailable for Almere City as they head into the latest Eredivisie gameweek.
  • Following their humbling 5-0 loss to champions PSV Eindhoven last time out, head coach Jeroen Rijsdijk could make several changes to his starting lineup. Central midfielder Anas Tahiri and forward Ali Jasim are among those pushing for a start.
  • Junior Kadile, Charles-Andreas Brym, and Kornelius Hansen have been Almere City's most prolific players this season, netting three, three, and two goals, respectively.

Prediction

  • With a spot in next season's UEFA Conference League playoffs within reach, Heerenveen aim to secure three more points in their Eredivisie match on Saturday at Abe Lenstra Stadion against Almere City, who are looking to boost their chances of avoiding relegation.
  • Currently, Heerenveen are in 10th place with 34 points, having scored 36 goals and conceded 52. With five matches remaining, the Friezen trail eighth-placed Heracles by just one point for a position in the UEFA Conference League playoffs. Heerenveen's last Eredivisie match ended in a 3-1 loss at Sparta-Stadion Het Kasteel against Sparta Rotterdam.
  • On the other hand, Almere City fell to a heavy 5-0 defeat against PSV at Philips Stadion in their last league game, breaking a three-match unbeaten streak. They now sit bottom of the table with 19 points, 12 points away off safety, with five matches left to play.
  • In their previous encounter in the Eredivisie, Almere secured a 3-0 victory over Heerenveen at Yanmar Stadion in December. Adi Nalic scored the opening goal for Almere City FC in the 52nd minute, followed by goals from Joey Jacobs and Álex Balboa.
  • Heerenveen have an impressive home record this season, with seven wins, six draws, and only one loss in 14 Eredivisie matches. They will be looking to extend their five-match unbeaten streak at home, dating back to February 1st, when they played against Fortuna Sittard. Almere, meanwhile, will try to improve their poor away performance this season, having recorded four draws, nine losses, and only two wins in league matches away from Yanmar Stadion.
  • In their last six league matches, Heerenveen have won two, drawn one, and lost three. Almere, on the other hand, have recorded one win, two draws, and three losses in their last six games.
