SC Heerenveen and NEC Nijmegen meet in the Eredivisie, with the hosts sitting 7th and chasing the top group, while the visitors are 12th and need points to climb out of the lower mid-table. The two sides go into the game with clearly different aims. SC Heerenveen have won three in a row and recently thrashed their opponents 4-0 in the league before winning 2-0 in the KNVB Beker. NEC Nijmegen, meanwhile, are unbeaten in five but have drawn four of those, and their defence still looks leaky judging by recent scorelines. Both teams score regularly, but the hosts look the more likely to close the game out decisively. If SC Heerenveen get the first goal from their sustained pressure in attack, they will likely push forward and force NEC Nijmegen to drop deep, and the game is more likely to end in a home win than a draw.
