This upcoming game will be an uphill battle for home, so they’ll probably want to use the rest of the season to climb up from their current table position at 10th. After all, we’re still only at round 5, so they’ll probably have better opportunities to earn some points.

Looking back at the head-to-head history of this matchup, it’s understandable why most bookmakers online decided to price a home win at 1.42. They soundly defeated SC Heerenveen last season, and it’s reasonable to expect another triumph.

Westerveld, Bruno Martins Indi, Mees De Wit, Lewis Schouten, Jeroen Zoet will not be able to play, putting the team in a dangerous situation.

You can safely put down an Over 2.5 Goals bet on this match and feel very confident. If the teams’ records are any indication, 3 or more goals in this match are almost guaranteed.
