Heerenveen vs Waalwijk prediction and betting tips on November 29, 2024
Game Prediction
In the 14th round of the Eredivisie, on November 29, 2024, Heerenveen vs Waalwijk. The hosts have not been performing well, but playing against the undoubtedly worst team in the league at home, a fairly confident victory is expected.
Our prediction for the Heerenveen vs Waalwijk match
Heerenveen is considered a mid-table team in Dutch football, which they confirmed last season by finishing 11th in the standings. RKC Waalwijk also managed to maintain their position in the Eredivisie, but they significantly underperformed, dropping from 8th to 15th place.
Currently, Henk Fraser’s team looks almost lifeless. After 13 matches, the team started with a series of defeats. It wasn’t until mid-October that they managed a draw against Twente. In November, they surprisingly won both the cup match against Vitesse and the league match against Almere. However, they were thrashed 0-3 by NEC, followed by a 2-2 draw against Heracles. Heerenveen pinned their hopes on van Persie, but his influence initially seemed unsuccessful. Nevertheless, since mid-autumn, the team has been winning more frequently, though they were decisively beaten 0-3 by Feyenoord in the last round.
Heerenveen scores just over a goal per game – a disgrace for van Persie, the legendary former striker. They also concede almost two goals per match on average. The visitors, Waalwijk, are not much better in attack, with 0.83 goals scored per match, but their defense is non-existent, conceding more than 2.5 goals per game.
