- Venue: Abe Lenstra Stadion
The battle for survival in the Dutch top flight continues for Willem II this week when they travel to SC Heerenvee for Matchday 28.
Heerenvee have avoided relegation since the 1994-95 season and are on course to do so again this term. De Superfriezen sit five places above the relegation zone with a seven-point advantage, but their recent form has not been good. Robin Veldman's side are winless in their last three games, whilst they have also suffered two defeats.
Willem II are still without a win in 2025. The visitors' last win came on 22 December when they beat NEC 4-1 at home. Since then, Peter Maes' side have gone on a ten-match winless streak and take a run of five consecutive defeats into Friday's game.
SC Heerenveen vs Willem II Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
Heerenveen will be favourites for all three points on Friday given Willem II's recent form, but the Super Frisians have not had much to cheer about at home in recent times. They have won just one of their last five games at the Abe Lenstra Stadion and have conceded a total of nine goals in that time.
Willem II have not kept a clean sheet in their last twelve matches and shipped at least two goals in six of their last eight games. Having also conceded at least two goals in their last two visits to Heerenveen, Friday's match should be an entertaining affair.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
