Midtable side Heerenveen face a tough task of stopping Eredivisie league leaders Feyenoord when the sides meet at the Abe Lenstra Stadion on Sunday. Heerenveen start this weekend matches in 8th spot with 27 points from 20 matches. They are well off the pace to be in contention for European qualification while a comfortable buffer with the relegation zone gives them breathing space. They are coming off a 2-1 win over NEC Breda in the KNVB Cup but their recent form hasn’t been inspiring. The hosts have lost four of their last five league matches including three in a row to halt their progress in the points table. Only 20 goals were scored by the hosts which is one of the lowest, but their defence has stood up by conceding only 22 goals. Interestingly, their home form has been oscillating with just two wins across their last six league matches here.

Feyenoord needed penalties to overcome Nijmegen in the Cup fixture which meant they have been drawing at full-time in four of their last five matches in all competitions. The visitors are top of the standings with 43 points from 20 matches but only two points ahead of AZ Alkmaar. Yet, only two wins across their last six league matches with four draws indicate that they may be losing steam. They are still unbeaten in 13 league matches and the last 12 competitive matches which indicates that the visitors are a tough nut to crack. While their defensive record is one of the best in the division, Feyenoord have conceded in six of their last eight away league matches which could be a concern on this trip.
