Your Web 3 Guru and Moonbet presenting todays match: SC Heerenveen – Ajax Amsterdam.
For SC Heerenveen, the 2023/24 season has been marked by periods of highs and lows. In mid-October, the team found themselves languishing in the relegation zone, sparking intense speculation about the future of head coach Kees van Wonderen in and around the Abe Lenstra Stadium. However, a remarkable turnaround saw them secure five victories in six weeks, propelling them back into contention for European play-off spots. Unfortunately, this resurgence was short-lived as they soon experienced another downturn in form.
Their hopes took a further blow with a disappointing exit from the KNVB Cup at the hands of Vitesse Arnhem, followed by three league defeats and three draws. As a result, Heerenveen found themselves in 13th place in the standings prior to this round, with only two clubs separating them from the relegation zone. Their recent matches saw them squander leads against AZ and Fortuna, leading to goalkeeper Andries Noppert losing his starting position, just two years after participating in the World Cup.
Meanwhile, their upcoming opponents, Ajax Amsterdam, weathered a rough patch towards the end of 2023, with a draw against PEC Zwolle and a shocking cup elimination against the amateurs of USV Hercules. However, they bounced back in the new year with three hard-fought victories and a draw against league leaders PSV. Trainer John van ‘t Schip remains at the helm until the end of the season, but uncertainty looms over his successor, with the possibility of another role within the Amsterdam organization.
Despite their cup exit, Ajax remains in contention on two fronts, with a crucial UEFA Europa Conference League tie against FK Bodø/Glimt looming. Domestically, they have surpassed AZ in the Eredivisie standings, both teams having accrued 35 points after 20 games.
Keep an eye on SC Heerenveen goalkeeper Mickey van der Hart, who made his competitive debut last weekend against Fortuna Sittard, albeit conceding three goals in a 3-3 draw. For Ajax, Brian Brobbey (G13, A5), the club’s top scorer, continues to shine, having scored five of their 12 goals since the winter break.
An interesting statistic: 95% of Heerenveen’s Eredivisie matches this season have seen over 1.5 total goals scored.
