The initial league meeting between these sides produced four goals as Heerenveen ran out 3-1 winners over Alkmaar, despite being slight underdogs on that occasion. Each of the last six head-to-head meetings between these sides, stretching back to 2023, has seen 3+ goals, with five of these games seeing more than three goals.
Only one point separates these sides in the Eredivisie table, so it’s fair to assume that they are pretty well matched and will be motivated to increase their chances of finishing inside the Conference League playoff spots, which are hotly contested in the Eredivisie at the moment. Alkmaar have only lost two of their 14 home matches in the Eredivisie this season, seeing 52 goals across these matches (3.71 per game).
Heerenveen enter this clash in good form, having avoided defeat in each of their last five matches across all competitions, seeing 3+ goals in all of these games. Their most recent assignment produced five goals as they came away 4-1 winners over Heracles - marking the second occasion across Heerenveen’s last five matches where they’ve covered this line on their own.
