Team News

SC Heerenveen
Twente
  • Heerenveen head coach Robin van Persie has five players missing this weekend.
  • Younes Taha is the only player unavailable for Twente, and they shouldn't be changed too much from last time out.

Prediction

  • A Heerenveen team that has not won in their last three Eredivisie matches will look to break this poor run against Twente at Abe Lenstra Stadion on Sunday.
  • In their most recent league match, Twente drew 2-2 against Go Ahead Eagles at De Adelaarshorst, leaving them in sixth place with 35 points. They trail fourth-placed AZ by two points, which is crucial for securing a spot in the Europa League qualifiers.
  • Heerenveen currently sits in 10th place with 25 points, having scored 23 goals and conceded 38. With 13 matches remaining, they are just one point behind eighth-placed Fortuna Sittard, who occupy a position for the UEFA Conference League playoffs. Heerenveen also earned a point in their last Eredivisie match, drawing 2-2 at home against Fortuna Sittard, extending their winless streak to three games.
  • The last time these two teams faced each other in Eredivisie action, Twente won 2-0 at De Grolsch Veste in September, with Sem Steijn scoring both goals in the 22nd and 39th minutes. Twente has performed better against Heerenveen recently, remaining unbeaten in the last six Eredivisie matches. Heerenveen are searching for their first league victory against Twente since September 2022, during which Twente have outscored them with 15 goals for and seven against.
  • In the 2024/2025 season, Twente's leading goalscorer is Steijn, who has netted 17 goals, including seven match-opening goals, making him the top scorer in the league this season.
  • For Heerenveen, standout players include Jacob Trenskow, Ion Nicolaescu, and Luuk Brouwers. Trenskow and Nicolaescu are jointly the team's top scorers with five goals each, while Brouwers follows closely with three goals.
  • At home this season, Heerenveen have recorded five wins, four draws, and one loss in 10 Eredivisie matches. In contrast, Twente have played 11 away matches this season, earning 14 points from a possible 33. Currently, they are on a four-match winless streak in away games, with their last victory on the road occurring in November 2024 against Fortuna Sittard.
