Current form SC Heerenveen
SC Heerenveen is currently one of the contenders for an international starting position in the Dutch Eredivisie. Currently they are in position 9, but only 4 points behind the table screen from Arnhem. Correspondingly important would be a victory against the tail end from Rotterdam, one could even speak of a mandatory victory, the crew of Jurgen Streppel must retract. The latest results, however, can only partially hope that this success will succeed: Recently, you had to settle for a key match against Vitesse Arnhem with a 1-1 draw. Bitter: The only goal of the opponent fell from an own goal Heerenveens already in minute 13. In general, we see the weaknesses of the hosts for Friday, most likely in the defensive area. After all, it was enough in the current season only for four games in which you remained without conceding. This translates to the fact that the SC scored only in every 5th game no goal. In fact, this was only the case once in the last 7 rounds. Before the 1-1 draw against Arnhem, there was a 1: 3 defeat against AZ Alkmaar, the last victory succeeded against NAC Breda at 1-0. Positive: Breda is currently in a similar table region as the Friday opponent. In general, Heerenveen could succeed, if so, especially against the latecomers of the Eredivisie. Even with the great start of the season with 6 unbeaten games in series, the four successes could be celebrated with the exception of Eindhoven (2-0) against teams outside the top 10 of the league. Speaking of 4 achievements: With these victories, Heerenveen has won twice as often in the first 6 rounds as in all 13 rounds afterwards. Also, in these six games almost 50 percent of all previous 26 goals this season have been achieved. In this regard, we see at Heerenveen for Friday, however, one or the other glimmer of hope. Such as the fact that you have a number of goal-scoring players. Although a true top striker is missing, but no fewer than four players could score 3 or more goals this season. With Morten Thorsby you have one of the most dangerous midfield players in the squad. It is not for nothing that the steppel elf creates a large number of goal-scoring opportunities from distance shots. From a physical point of view, we also have the advantage over the league table against Sparta Rotterdam, especially with high balls one belongs to the best teams of the Eredivisie. In addition, Coach Streppel, with the exception of goalkeeper Warner Hahn, can rely on all his squad players.

Current form Sparta Rotterdam
Sparta Rotterdam is currently slipping in the Eredivisie undoubtedly against the descent. The capital club is currently at the bottom of the table and has collected after 19 games only 11 points. Accordingly, one must be glad that other teams like Kerkrade or Breda act weakly, so that you are still only 4 points behind the saving shore. However, this is one of the few positive factors that we can currently call in the case of the bottom of the table. The performances and results in the last few weeks contribute little to a positive forecast for Friday: Sparta lost last weekend the derby against Excelsior with 3: 2, this was the 7th defeat in a row. Previously, for example, against Groningen (0: 4) and Feyernoord Rotterdam (0: 7) clearly pulled the short. Sparta Rotterdam have been victorious for 9 rounds and have only achieved 2 wins in 19 attempts. In addition, it still has not worked out with the first away win of the season 2017/2018. The two successes against Groningen (2: 1) and Twente Enschede (1: 0) came about in front of their own audience. The defensive performances are frighteningly weak. 21 goals conceded Sparta Rotterdam in 9 games. In general, we see the defense as the biggest Achilles heel of the tail light: With 41 goals, you are currently the clear weakest defense in the league, 15 scored hits mean that you came after all in the vicinity of an average of one hit per game. For such numbers, in our opinion, a bet tip in the form of an over / under bet offers. The recent results of Sparta can serve as an indicator: In the last 4 encounters with the participation of the team of ex-national coach Dick Advocaat always fell more than 3.5 hits. Overall, this was the case in 7 of 19 games. More than 2.5 goals were scored in 11 games. At the moment we see strengths best in the game against the ball, but you can not usually turn these ball wins into dangerous chances to score. Weaknesses can be seen especially in standards as well as in quick counter-attacks. The closure weakness of the club from the Dutch port city is also reflected in the fact that this season with 15 hits, the least of all teams of the Eredivisie could achieve and as one of only two teams, the 20-goal mark has not yet reached or reached. After all: With the exception of Janne Saksela all Kaderspieler are available on Friday.

Our Prediction: SC Heerenveen win @ 1.55
