The upcoming match between SC Heerenveen and Willem II is expected to be a thrilling one, with both teams in dire need of a win. The away team comes into the game with their defensive line in poor form, especially when playing on the road. On the other hand, the home team has also struggled defensively, even when playing in front of their own fans.
Interestingly, the away team has historically found it difficult to score against the group led by Robin Veldeman. This could prove to be a significant factor in the outcome of the match. Both SC Heerenveen and Willem II are coming off defeats in their previous matches, making the need for three points even more pressing.
In terms of form comparison, SC Heerenveen holds a clear advantage over Willem II. However, Peter Maes' team is known for playing good football even when away from home, which could pose a challenge for the home team.
Based on recent head-to-head encounters between the two sides, we can expect to see a high-scoring affair. With 2 wins for the home team, 1 draw, and 2 wins for the away team in their last five meetings, both teams will be looking to come out on top this time.
SC Heerenveen has averaged 1.2 goals per game this season, while Willem II has managed to score an average of 1 goal per game. This suggests that both teams have the potential to find the back of the net in this match.
Overall, the team coached by Robin Veldeman has a good chance of emerging victorious in this clash. However, with Peter Maes at the helm, Willem II will be looking to upset the odds and secure a positive result away from home. Expect an exciting encounter with plenty of goal-scoring opportunities for both sides.
