Den Haag vs. Heerenveen – Prediction (Eredivisie – 03.11.2019)

Preview and Teams Comparison.

Averaging 1.8 bookings per-match at home in this Eredivisie season, Den Haag are currently conceding an alarming average of 1.91 goals per-match. As such, it comes as little surprise to see that a clear majority (62.5%) of their league defeats have witnessed a margin of at least two goals. Den Haag loan-man Crysencio Summerville scored his first top-flight goal within two minutes of their victory over Vitesse last time out. Moreover, only rock-bottom Waalwijk have scored fewer home goals than the ‘Storks’ prior to the round (0.8 per-match on average), with that paltry return representing just 30.77% of Den Haag’s total goals to date. Overall, Den Haag have not scored a goal in 225 minutes of league football on home turf.

Den Haag head coach Alfons Groenendijk has won just one of nine H2Hs with Heerenveen (W1, D2, L6). Five of those defeats in the above sequence also saw both teams score. Heerenveen have conceded at least twice in 12 of their last 14 Eredivisie away games.

Conversely, Heerenveen have grown into their season, picking up 11 of their 17 points across the last five rounds (64.71%). The ‘Super Frisians’ are yet to draw on hostile turf, and have seen 68.97% of the total goals scored in their league games come on their travels (4.0 goals per-match on average). Heerenveen starlet Chidera Ejuke has scored three goals before half-time across his last three away appearances in all competitions. Expect a quick start, as nine of Heerenveen’s 12 away league goals have been scored before the interval. Furthermore, they are yet to see a first half produce fewer than two goals when playing away from home, with 2.8 first-half goals per-match on average.
