Heerenveen vs ADO Den Haag Predictions

• Heerenveen have won 5 of their last 7 matches against Den Haag.
• 4 of the pairs’ last 6 encounters have produced under 2.5 goals.
• Heerenveen’s last 2 home games have produced under 2.5 goals.
• Den Haag have lost 9 of their 11 away games in the Eredivisie.

The hosts have a good recent record against their guests

Heerenveen lost 4-2 away at Vitesse last weekend while Den Haag went down 3-0 at home to PSV, meaning the gap between the two clubs remains at 12pts. Mid-table Heerenveen are without a win in their last seven league games but Den Haag have lost six of their last twelve matches in the Eredivisie, only winning once during that period.

The hosts have a good recent record against their guests, winning five of the pairs’ last seven encounters, and under 2.5 goals have been produced in four of the duos’ last six meetings. Heerenveen’s last two home games have also produced under 2.5 goals and Den Haag have failed to score in three of their last four matches in the Eredivisie, so you can start to see why we have backed a 1-0 home win this weekend.

Heerenveen have only lost twice at home in the league this season while Den Haag have already been beaten on their travels nine times, with the hosts averaging 1.33 points per home game and the visitors averaging 0.55 points per away game. Heerenveen score an average of 1.17 goals per home game, which is below the league average of 1.87 goals but only concede an average of 1.08 goals which is below the league average of 1.21 goals. Den Haag concede an average of 2.82 goals per away game and score 1.09 goals but with both teams looking distinctly average going forward in recent weeks we have backed a narrow 1-0 win for the hosts this weekend.

Den Haag have lost the vast majority of their away games in the Eredivisie

67% of Heerenveen’s home matches have produced under 2.5 goals so far this season and both teams have scored in just 45% of Den Haag’s away games, adding further weight to our prediction for a narrow 1-0 home win on Saturday. Den Haag have failed to score in 36% of their away games and have only kept clean sheets in 18% of games on their travels, while Heerenveen have only failed to score in 8% of their home games.

Heerenveen have won via a 1-goal margin three times so far this season while Den Haag have lost by that very same margin on four occasions and with the pair in poor form, we are expecting any win to be by the odd goal this weekend. Den Haag have a poor defensive record on the road, conceding 31-goals, but Heerenveen have only netted 14-goals in their own backyard which is why we can’t see the hosts winning this match in a convincing fashion.

We’re confident that Heerenveen will win on Saturday and we have predicted a final scoreline fo 1-0. Neither side is in good form heading into this weekends’ clash but Heerenveen have looked the strong er of the two clubs this season and haven’t lost many games in their own backyard, while Den Haag have been beaten in a whopping 82% of their away games.
