Heerenveen Aim to Stay Strong at Home

Heerenveen sit seventh after ten games and carry three wins from their last five outings into this home fixture. Their record at the Abe Lenstra Stadion shows just one goal conceded per match on average while they net 1.4 themselves. NEC Nijmegen remain unbeaten in their last five yet have managed only one victory in that run and sit four places lower in the table. The visitors concede 1.8 goals a game overall and have seen both teams score in nine of their ten league matches. Past meetings between the sides feature four draws in the last ten encounters, underlining how rarely these fixtures produce a clear winner. Heerenveen have also kept four clean sheets in their ten league games so far. The main risk lies in NEC’s ability to find the net away from home where they average two goals per game.
