SC Heerenveen, Recent FormLast time out, Heerenveen went away feeling content with a 2-0 away win against Utrecht
Kees van Wonderen will be very satisfied with his team's ability to find the net, with 13 goals in their last 6 matches; however, he will be less pleased with his back line, who have conceded6 goals during those same matches. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 2 clean sheets in those games.
They have been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 6 games.
Sparta Rotterdam, Recent FormSparta Rotterdam manager Jeroen Rijsdijk will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 2-2 draw in his team's last league outing against Feyenoord.
While they have been strong in attack with 14 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 7 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They have had a strong run of away form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games on the road and picking up 4 wins along the way.
Tobias Lauritsen will be hoping to create problems for Heerenveen in this one, having scored 5 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Sparta Rotterdam.
Heerenveen will be looking to forget their last league encounter with Sparta Rotterdam, when a slew of goals ended in a heavy 4-0 defeat.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at Abe Lenstra Stadion, De Kasteelheren have been unable to break through the Heerenveen defence and find the back of the net. In their past 5 meetings, Sparta's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so De Superfriezen will have to take their chances when they come.
When playing at home in the league, Heerenveen have failed to win any of their last 3 meetings with Sparta, with the last 2 of those games ending in a draw.
With only Pelle van Amersfoort (Unknown) and Sven van Beek (Achilles tendon) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Kees van Wonderen will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
There is only really one injury concern for the Sparta manager Jeroen Rijsdijk ahead of this clash, with Mike Eerdhuijzen (Unknown) missing out, which gives Rijsdijk a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
