Content is coming in next 30 minutes.
📈 Recent Form & H2H
•In recent head-to-head games between these two, results have been tight — Waalwijk even recorded a 3-1 win over Heerenveen in May 2025, and the teams have drawn in other recent fixtures.
•Historically, Heerenveen have a slightly better overall record in the fixture, but nothing overwhelming — so don’t rule out a close game or surprise result.
🧠 Tactical Outlook
Heerenveen
•Stronger overall squad and home advantage favour them progressing.
•Recent form shows they’ve scored consistently, though not always been rock-solid defensively.
Waalwijk
•Have shown they can score — and score often — in recent matches, so this could be more open than a typical cup tie.
•They aren’t expected to dominate, but they do carry a threat and have pulled positive results before against Heerenveen.
🔮 My Opinion
I’d expect Heerenveen to progress, but not necessarily in comfortable fashion. It’s likely to be competitive, potentially with goals from both sides — particularly if Heerenveen push forward at home and Waalwijk stay brave on the break.
👉 Prediction vibe:
✔ Heerenveen favourite
✔ Could be close
✔ Goals on both ends quite possible
OUR VERDICT:BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE-YES
