SC Heerenveen - Feyenoord
SC Heerenveen 1X (Double Chance) @ -125 / 1.80
Feyenoord is still in the title race trailing league leaders and reigning champs Ajax by just one point. Ajax plays a home match against NEC on sunday, while Feyenoord travels to the northern part of The Netherlands to take on SC Heerenveen on saturday. This is not a place the top sides favor, as Heerenveen usually plays these teams hard. Ajax dropped points here earlier on in the season (2-2) and Vitesse and PSV both lost their matches in Heerenveen. Feyenoord is on an nice run so far in 2013 (6W, 1D, 2L) and won their last four. The key player in this team is Grazianno Pelle - he's scored 21 in 23 matches - and 7 in Feyenoord's last 9. He's picked up his 5th yellow card of the season against FC Utrecht, so this means he's suspended against Heerenveen. Not a good sign for Feyenoord missing their most important player and top scorer. They are not having a second proven striker in the squad, so Lex Immers might be moving from midfield to take over Pelle's role up front. Immers has scored 10 goals, but half of these were from the penalty spot - besides that, his last league goal is already from a while ago (december 16, 2012). Sekou Cisse is back from another injury and perhaps could make a start, but definitely lacks match fitness. He's only made 6 starts this season and his last appearance was 3 months ago. Feyenoord is definitely not meeting Heerenveen at the right time of the season. While Heerenveen has dropped too many points earlier, Van Basten has his team rolling now and they are playing like everyone expected they should before the season started. SC Heerenveen has won four straight (two of them being home wins against top 5 sides PSV & FC Twente) and scored atleast one goal in their last 8 matches. In matter of fact, from the 27 league matches so far this season, Heerenveen only failed to score in 5. The last time Feyenoord became Dutch champions was back in 1999, so you could say there is some pressure on this team as they haven't been this close to a title for quite a while. Heerenveen is just one point behind a playoff spot for the Europa League, so they still have all to play for. Feyenoord played against Heerenveen in Rotterdam earlier in the season, where the match ended in a 1-1 draw. These two sides also met in Heerenveen for the Dutch cup and the match was tied in both regular and extra time (2-2). Feyenoord eventually won the penalty shoot-out to advance to the quarter-finals. SC Heerenveen's striker Alfred Finnbogason is having a great season, with 20 goals in 24 appearances. Djuricic is one of the most talented young attacking midfielders in the Eredivisie and scored a brace in Heerenveen's last match. He also scored both goals in Serbia's World Cup qualifier against Scotland on tuesday. I see Heerenveen getting atleast a draw here and might even get the win against Feyenoord. Double chance wager (and the DNB) at good odds for the home side. GL
