SC Heerenveen won the seventh time this season last week. On a visit to RKC Waalwijk, Frisia down somewhat after a good start. The match seemed to end in a draw, but Heerenveen secured the full loot. In Waalwijk, the club of Friesland finally left the field with a 1-3 victory. Because the new win, the team of Johnny Jansen still in good fifth place, a position beneath the opponent Friday night, Willem II.
Heerenveen closed the calendar year with three home duel. Next weekend at Abe Lenstra Stadion match against Heracles Almelo still in the program, while Wednesday Roda JC came to visit for a cup. Tim Jansen seems to be able to participate seriously this season in the play-offs for European football. In a match of weeks ago, Anders Dreyer scored on a point of interest. However, Deen will not play Chidera Ejuke from scratch because the goal in Waalwijk. Many changes in the basic eleven Jansen unclear.

Willem II
The club from Tilburg last Friday provided one of the biggest surprises this season. Ajax seems almost unbeatable, certainly in the Premier League, but the team managed to beat the Dutch Tilburg Holland. In Amsterdam, Willem II do business with a good tactical. This coupled with Ajax rough game, plus a small portion of luck, make Brabanders win 1-2. After that, the players in Tilburg bus met with an enthusiastic fan of Ticolores, who have watched the game against Ajax on the screen in their own stadium.
"Heerenveen took steps during the season," coach Adrie Koster analyzed the next opponent of his club against their own media. "It's just a very tough opponent," said Koster, who could not have suspended midfielder Pol Llonch on Friday. Damil Dankerlui, which fell against Ajax with purpose, is a possible replacement for Spain.
Predicted line-up (4-3-3): Wellenreuther; Heerkens, Holmen, Peters, Nelom; Nieuwkoop, Saddiki, Ndayishimiye; Nunnely, Pavlidis, Kohlert

Heerenveen vs Willem II: Prediction
After a comfortable 3-1 win at RKC Waalwijk on Sunday, The Super Frisia has climbed to fifth in the table. With the WDL record of 7-6-3 (27:19 GD) and extraordinary shape (one defeat in the last ten league games), chasing them to the place of Europe is underway.
Their last home game was incredible 3-2 comeback v Vitesse, who had been 0-2 down. Under Johnny Jansen, Heerenveen is now unbeaten at home, although they struggled to break teams down. Five times they were drawn, having won against Zwolle, Sparta and Vitesse, scored ten and conceded seven.
Willem II surprise league leaders Ajax Amsterdam and Rampage have suffered their first defeat in the Eredivisie. Tricolores still the most pleasant surprise in Dutch football, sits in fourth with nine wins, two draws and five defeats under their belts.
Koster's men rank among the teams are better away from home. Three losses, one draw and four victories, after scoring 13 while conceding 14.
Jansen would be lost in January Ras, youngsters season ended due to rupture of a cruciate ligament. Because of the same injury, guests will be without the services of Fernando Lewis.
Both teams to score is a decent bet given the history of their h2h and new forms. Heerenveen conceded in five of their last six home games while Tricolores not only scored twice in eight of their trip.
I want to come back to win the men's Jansen. Guests are still on cloud nine after a big win last week so super Frisian, when unbeaten at Abe Lenstra Stadion may bring them down. Draw no Bet, just to be safe.
