RKC square off with Heerenveen in the Eredivisie of Netherlands action on May 10, with the match kicking off at 14:30 UTC.
5 months after their last match in Eredivisie, RKC and Heerenveen prepare to meet again. In their last face-off, neither side could break the deadlock, ending in a 1-1 draw. On a difficult run, RKC approach this match following losses against Utrecht and NEC, leaving them without a victory in their last eight outings. Before Heerenveen, they will play Groningen in Eredivisie, a fixture that is likely to influence their form and fitness ahead of their clash with Heerenveen. Their recent home form raises questions, with no goals in their past three home matches, a streak they are desperate to end.
Heerenveen, unlike their opponents, come into this clash with momentum, following two straight victories against NEC and Almere City in their most recent games. Though notably, their backline has lacked consistency, with goals conceded across ten consecutive away matches.
This Eredivisie clash shines a light on the players who have played crucial roles in creating and converting chances for RKC and Heerenveen in this campaign. Richonell Margaret and Oskar Zawada have been pivotal for RKC’s attack, under Henk Fraser’s guidance, combining to deliver important goals and assists. Zawada has emerged as RKC’s leading scorer in Eredivisie this season, netting nine goals, with Margaret leading their creative tally in the league with six assists. Yassin Oukili, Mohamed Ihattaren and Richard van der Venne have also played key roles, contributing with goals and assists to fuel RKC’s attack.
Meanwhile, Heerenveen’s Jacob Trenskow and top finisher Ion Nicolaescu have played important roles in ensuring their attack, carefully orchestrated by Robin Veldman, remains effective. Nicolaescu leads Heerenveen’s scoring charts in Eredivisie this season with seven goals, as Kohlert continues to lead their creative efforts in the tournament with five assists. Alireza Jahanbakhsh, Luuk Brouwers and Marcus Linday have made their presence felt as well, chipping in with decisive contributions in attack.
