A Sports Betting Pick by ArmchairPunter
Football : Netherlands: Eredivisie
Venue: Abe Lenstra Stadion
Friday 4th April 2025, 1900hrs
Heerenveen were dealt a second defeat in three games and a second away loss on the trot last weekend in the Dutch Eredivisie when they went down to a 2-0 loss at Utrecht but the hosts will be looking forward to returning to the home surroundings of their Abe Lenstra Stadion for this upcoming encounter against strugglers, Willem II, on Friday night.
Indeed, despite being handed recent defeats on their travels at PSV and Utrecht respectively, Heerenveen’s form and results on home soil in the Dutch top flight this season have been extremely solid.
Heerenveen have been handed just one defeat in their 13 home games to date this term which came in the form of a 2-0 loss to Ajax but Robin Veldman’s side have also picked up six wins and six draws so far this season.
Willem II find themselves occupying the relegation play-off spot in the Eredivisie table and four points adrift of safety ahead of Friday night’s trip to the Abe Lenstra Stadion as the visitors look to halt a miserable run of 10 league matches without a win.
Willem II have slipped to no fewer than eight defeats within these previous 10 games overall which does not bode well for this upcoming clash against a Heerenveen outfit who have lost just once at home all season.
Four of Willem II’s eight recent defeats have been incurred away from home with losses recorded at Twente, Waalwijk, Sparta Rotterdam and Go Ahead Eagles respectively, while the bigger picture paints a dismal outlook for Peter Maes’s side as the visitors have managed to claim just three wins from their last 27 outings on the road in the Eredivisie.
The Betting Verdict
Heerenveen have won the last two meetings at home on the trot against Willem II.
The Pick :
Heerenveen 2-1 Willem II
