Heerenveen to Win
It is not hard to recognize the importance of this match for both sides, but for this Heerenveen vs Emmen prediction, the home team is favorite with good reason. Their league position gives them the edge, but it is curious to notice how Heerenveen home form isn't anywhere near the high standard required for their ambitions. They lost four games in a row at their stadium before finally beating Volendam two weeks ago. Fortunately for Heerenveen, their opponent's away form is even worse. Emmen has won only twice away from home in 14 matches losing eleven times in the process.
Over 2.5 Goals
It's strange to lock the ‘over' mark here for the Heerenveen vs Emmen duel because both of these teams are in the top five when it comes to matches with fewer than three goals scored. However, it is a bit different when they are facing each other, from the last five times they met, three games ended with over 2.5 goals. In the last five outings overall, Heerenveen had three ‘over' matches while during the same span of games, Emmen had only two.

Team News, Preview, and Heerenveen vs Emmen Lineups
Heerenveen
The lack of consistency when it comes to Heerenveen's results keeps getting in the way of this team's results in the second part of the season. After yet another heavy loss last week, they dropped outside of the top eight which means the club is once again on the outside looking in when it comes to the playoffs for European places into next season. Tibor Halilovic is injured for the home team while Joos van Aken, Andries Noppert, and Sven van Beek are doubtful to play.
Possible lineup: Mous, van Ewijk, Van Ottele, Bochniewicz, Kohlert, Haye, Tahiri, Olsson, van Amersfoort, Sahraoui, van Hooijdonk.
Emmen
The visiting team looks safe when it comes to direct relegation, but they are still in danger as the club is holding the 16th position which would force them to play a relegation playoff match against a selected team from the second division. Emmen can still change that outcome, but they will need to find goals as the team currently has the second-worst attack in the Eredivisie.
Possible lineup: van der Hart, te Wierik, Araujo, Dirksen, Burnet, Romeny, Veendorp, El Messaoudi, Antonisse, Diemers, Zivkovic.
Starting lineups
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.
