Heerenveen take on the visitors Feyenoord in the quarter-finals of KNVB Beker. The match will be played on Wednesday, February 1st at Abe Lenstra Stadion (Heerenveen).
Heerenveen are currently a mid-table team in Dutch football. The 'Super Frisians' managed to win the cup in 2009, but overall, it is a club that no one expects great success from. In the last Eredivisie season, they only managed to finish in 8th place, and they are likely to finish at a similar level this season as well. In the last round, they lost 1-4 at home to VVV-Venlo and slid down to the bottom of the top 10 table. However, they have been performing relatively well in the Dutch Cup, although most of their opponents have been relatively easy - HHC Hardenberg, Volendam, and NAC Breda. Their reward for this is playing against one of the country's top teams.

Feyenoord may finally surpass their eternal rivals. 'The Pride of the South' is, of course, considered one of the local giants. They have celebrated the championship title in Rotterdam 15 times. However, this century has only seen one such success, in 2017. Last season, they finished in 3rd place again, behind both Ajax and PSV. However, both of their competitors are currently not in the best form, and Arne Slot's team is trying to take advantage of this - they have been leading the Eredivisie for a long time. They also defeated Fortuna 4-2 in Sittard, maintaining a three-point lead over Ajax. It is clear that this is their number one priority. It is not surprising that they almost got knocked out of the cup in the previous round when they drew 4-4 with NEC, only winning on penalties.
Feyenoord has taken 10 out of 12 possible points in their last head-to-head matches. Just recently, on February 12th, they won 2-1 away. The visitors from Rotterdam should justify their status as favorites. We bet on the away win in regular time.
Prediction for the match: Feyenoord to win after full time.
