Heerenveen preview: In solid form recently and hoping for more
Two wins in their last three games have helped Heerenveen climb up the table a bit and escape the vicinity of the relegation zone since they're now eight points ahead of the first team in it. Overall, Heerenveen have been pretty inconsistent this season, showing different faces at home, where they are without a loss, and away from home, where they've lost all six of their Eredivisie matches.
Heerenveen currently have a clean bill of health.
Predicted lineup: Van der Hart (GK), Braude, Hopland, Bochniewicz, Kohlert, Van Ee, Conde, Trenskow, Brouwers, Smans & Nicolaescu

Player to watch: Igor Paixao
The Brazilian winger has been one of Feyenoord's most consistent performers this season, helping his team rise through the standings with two goals and four assists, which is why he's our player to watch in this game too.
