SC Heerenveen, Recent FormKees van Wonderen will have some work to do building up his players after their 6-1 away thrashing at the hands of Feyenoord.
He will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 13 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 11 goals they managed at the other end. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games but have only managed to keep 2 clean sheets in those games.
In terms of results, it's been a bit of a mixed bag for Heerenveen recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Osame Sahraoui will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in SC Heerenveen's last 6 league games.
Excelsior, Recent FormExcelsior manager Marinus Dijkhuizen will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against Almere City.
He is sure to be taking a close look at his defence, who have given away 13 goals over the last 6 matches and yet amazingly still managed to collect some valuable points during this poor defensive spell due to their 11 goals scored. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They've had a less than ideal run of form recently, winning just 1 of their last 6 games.
Goalscorer Nikolas Agrafiotis will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 5 goals in his last 6 league matches for Excelsior.
It was a 0-0 draw last time these two met, so not one to look back on fondly, with both sides taking away just a single point for their troubles.
In their last 3 league meetings with Heerenveen, Roodzwarten have not been on scoring form, not managing a single goal. De Superfriezen have struggled for goals when Excelsior comes to visit Abe Lenstra Stadion, having scored just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings.
Excelsior have failed to manage a victory in their last 4 encounters in the league against Heerenveen.
With only Paweł Bochniewicz (Hip) and Patrik Wålemark (Hip) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Kees van Wonderen will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Marinus Dijkhuizen has a number of injury concerns in his Excelsior squad to contend with: Jacky Donkor (Knee), Adrian Fein (Illness), Lennard Hartjes (Knee), Kik Pierie (Foot) and Mike van Duinen (Unknown)
