There is a really intriguing battle for the European spots unfolding in the Eredivisie, with Heerenveen being closely pursued by Groningen and Sparta Rotterdam as they look to cling onto their Conference League playoff spot.
The home side faced a real setback last time out as they fell to a 3-0 defeat to Alkmaar on the road, after a pretty steady period of form. They’ve seen 3+ goals in each of their last five matches across all competitions, avoiding defeat in four of these games until that defeat away from home last time out.
They welcome a Sittard side who are not in good form having won just one of their last five matches across all competitions. They’ve seen 3+ goals in three of these games, and have notably seen 50 goals across their 15 away games in the Dutch top flight this term (3.33 per game).
Heerenveen have seen 54 goals across their 15 home matches in the Eredivisie this season (3.6 per game), so both of these sides are familiar with high scoring matches and could both contribute to at least three goals in this important game for the home side.
