Telstar - SC Heerenveen predictions

The visitors are well aware of the challenge ahead of them. To defeat Telstar on their home field would be a significant achievement, and it is never an easy undertaking.

SC Heerenveen will need to bring their top form if they want 3 points from this matchup – and they do. Telstar are not easy pickings, although the visitors are widely seen as close favourites.

The hosts are coming from a narrow AZ Alkmaar defeat last time out in the Eredivisie. They played a rather difficult away match and seeing them lose on a one-goal margin is not as disastrous as things might have been.

SC Heerenveen secured three more points on the scoreboard after their previous home game against Excelsior, though the performance itself gave the fans little cause for celebration. A relatively weaker opponent was in the lead for most of what should have been an easy match.

With more than 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 fixtures, Telstar’s performance leaves something to be desired. That said, savvy punters could be able to exploit this – think BTTS or Over 5 Goals markets, for example.

The visitors are on a bit of a purple patch when it comes to scoring, with 5 goals scored in total in their latest 3 Eredivisie matches. If the trend continues, we’re bound to see a pretty exciting game here.

Telstar have a 1-point buffer zone between them and the relegation zone. Though it’s still early in the season, they’ll have to work hard if they want to consider this season a success before the end.

Though it won’t be easy, earning 3 points at Telstar will be a great step towards a more successful season for SC Heerenveen. They are currently number 12th on the table after earning a total of $POINTs points in the first few rounds.

An exciting game is in store as both teams have their full rosters available due to no injuries or suspensions.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 1.62 at 888Sport.
