Feyenoord welcome the visitors Heerenveen in the Dutch Eredivisie – Round 28. The match will be held on Thursday, April, 4th, at the De Kuip (Rotterdam).
The hosting Feyenoord have receded lately. The team’s 5-round-back loss to Ajax has broken them. In the round that followed the defeat, Feyenoord somehow managed to win the second-last Emmen, then they drawed against Vitesse, and suffered 2 losses to Willem and Utrecht. Now the hosts are placed 4th in the standings running 4 points behind the 3rd AZ Alkmaar, but the former have 1 spare round.

The visiting Heerenveen still have chances to reach playoffs to fight for the Europa League. The team sit 9th in the table with a tally of 36 points and run 6 points off the 7th line that provides for knockouts. Such a handicap is not easy to manage in 7 fixtures but is doable. Still, after the coming clash with Feyenoord, the guests’ chances to progress to top-seven will probably decrease.
It’s actually risky to bet on the hosts’ win after their 3 latest matches. Still, it might be worth the risk. There is a certain trend in the opponents’ 7 recent head-to-heads. No homeside registered a win there. It’s time for the streak to break. Moreover, Feyenoord won 11 of 13 home clashes domestically and conceded only to Willem and Fortuna. They ended winners even against Ajax and PSV Eindhoven. Heerenveen are not bad on the road – they conceded only thrice, but the present situation does not favor them. The hosts had 4 days to bounce back. They need to catch up with Alkmaar, as the 3rd place does not only stand for the bronze medals, it does for the automatic Europa League promotion as well. A win in the match analyzed will reduce Feyenoord’s gap to a minimum. So, the hosts will master all their strength (which is solid, as they beat leaders – take, for example, their confident 6:2 victory over Ajax this campaign) and attain 3 points on Thursday. They will probably register an assertive win by a margin of over 1 goal. 7 of their 11 home wins Feyenoord picked up by a difference of over 1 goal.
Prediction for the match: Feyenoord to win with a -1.0 handicap.
