FC Twente - SC Heerenveen betting tips and odds

It’s quite easy to predict that FC Twente will take the 3 points here. Though a different result is not entirely impossible, it would still be quite a notable upset.

The situation is crystal clear from the current perspective. Given the strength of the home team and the fact SC Heerenveen are given 9.00 betting odds to win, a conclusion is not difficult to reach. Anything but a home win would be an incredible surprise.

The hosts won their most recent Eredivisie match 1:0, but that doesn’t tell us much about their current form. After all, that was a home game for them, and a heavily favourable matchup as well. They took an early lead and strolled their way to a solid, if a bit too narrow victory.

A 0:3 defeat is not something SC Heerenveen expected when it comes to their previous league match. They were clear favourites to claim a win but ended up disappointing their fans. Therefore the Saturday clash is a perfect opportunity to bounce back.

The fact that they’re playing at Sportpark de Zweede is a boost to FC Twente. They’ve thrived in their recent home games, managing to score more than 5 times over the previous

It’s easy to spot a certain trend when looking over SC Heerenveen’s recent history – and not in a good way. Their latest appearances were marked by a high concession rate. For example, their previous 3 matches featured more than 5 conceded goals.

Considering their strong relative form, the home team has a great shot at closing some of the 3 -point difference they need to take the lead in the standings.

SC Heerenveen’s ambitions are likely focused on winning the 3 points they need to get into the top few spots of the table. With FC Twente standing in the way of those goals, however, there’s plenty of time for things to turn sour for them.

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 1.44. They soundly defeated SC Heerenveen last season, and it’s reasonable to expect another triumph.

Max Bruns, Gijs Smal, Joshua Brenet, Naci Ünüvar will all have to sit this one out due to injuries, leaving the home team’s lineup in a weakened state. They still have an advantage according to betting prices, but it may not be as notable as it would have been otherwise.

Though the odds are against the visitors, at least they’ll be in a position to put up as much of a fight as possible. All of their lineup is accounted for in this match, with no issues from suspensions or injuries.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.43, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
