Heerenveen vs NEC H2H Stats, Lineups and Live Stream

Preview

Heerenveen face NEC in the Eredivisie of Netherlands on September 21, with the match kicking off at 12:30 UTC.

The countdown begins for a clash that promises intensity as Heerenveen and NEC prepare to meet again, 5 months after the previous Eredivisie meeting that concluded in a 1-0 victory for Heerenveen. Following a recent loss to Feyenoord last Saturday, Heerenveen aim to regroup and turn things around in this upcoming clash, but they remain winless over their last ten matches. Strengthening their defense will be critical to turning their fortunes around, since their backline remains a concern, having conceded goals in each of their last ten matches.

NEC are in a poor form just like their oponents, preparing for the match after two consecutive losses against PSV and Fortuna Sittard.

In this Eredivisie showdown, the spotlight will fall on the players who have been pivotal for Heerenveen and NEC throughout the campaign. Heerenveen’s offensive unit, with Robin Veldman steering the side, has leaned on Luuk Brouwers and Jacob Trenskow, their main scorer, as they continue to drive the team’s attacking efforts forward. Trenskow leads Heerenveen’s scoring charts in Eredivisie this season with two goals, with Brouwers leading their creative tally in the league with one assist. Supporting them are Vaclav Sejk, Nikolai Hopland and Levi Smans, who have also chipped in with important goals and assists, adding depth to Heerenveen’s attack.

Meanwhile, NEC’s top finisher Brian Linssen and Tjaronn Chery have played important roles in ensuring their attack, under Dick Schreuder’s management, remains effective. Linssen has emerged as NEC’s leading scorer in Eredivisie this season, netting three goals, while also being their most creative player, providing two assists in the league so far. Basar Onal, Virgil Misidjan and Koki Ogawa have supported the attack well, combining for important goals and assists throughout the campaign.
