Heerenveen vs Willem II H2H Stats, Lineups and Live Stream

Preview

Heerenveen went head-to-head with Willem II in the Eredivisie of Netherlands on April 4. Heerenveen wrapped up the match with a 3-1 triumph.

Ion Nicolaescu scored the first goal of the game on the 11th minute of the match, putting Heerenveen ahead. The scoreline was shaped by further goals from Sam Kersten, Ilias Sebaoui and Jesse Bosch, ending the game at 3-1.

As Heerenveen and Willem II meet again, the memory of Heerenveen's 1-2 win in their Eredivisie face-off from 5 months ago still lingers. Heerenveen's most recent match on March 30 resulted in a defeat to Utrecht, and they'll be keen to make amends here, but they remain winless over their last three matches. Addressing their defensive shortcomings will be a priority for progress, since their inability to keep a clean sheet has been evident, as they have been conceding goals for fourteen consecutive matches now.

Willem II are in horrible form, coming off five consecutive defeats to Almere City, Go Ahead Eagles, Utrecht, Sparta Rotterdam and Groningen, as they have now gone ten matches without tasting victory. They've had trouble holding their opponents at bay, with goals conceded across twelve consecutive matches.

In this Eredivisie showdown, the spotlight will fall on the players who have been pivotal for Heerenveen and Willem II throughout the campaign. Heerenveen’s Jacob Trenskow and leading scorer Ion Nicolaescu have played significant roles in the team’s attack, shaped by Robin Veldman’s vision, each providing decisive moments in their offensive play. In Eredivisie, Trenskow has been Heerenveen’s standout scorer with five goals, as Kohlert continues to lead their creative efforts in the tournament with five assists. Heerenveen’s attacking depth is further showcased by Luuk Brouwers, Alireza Jahanbakhsh and Marcus Linday, who have each made valuable contributions this season.

Meanwhile, Willem II’s attacking options, guided by Peter Maes, have been bolstered by Ringo Meerveld, the team’s top scorer, and Kyan Vaesen, both of whom have contributed crucial goals and assists. Meerveld leads Willem II’s scoring charts in Eredivisie this season with four goals, while Doodeman remains their top assist provider in the competition with three. Adding further support are Cisse Sandra, Jesse Bosch and Jeremy Bokila, who have combined to deliver key goals and assists for the team.
