There will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Almere City players having failed to take any points away from their recent 3-1 away defeat at the hands of FC Twente.  They achieved 48% possession in that match and had 7 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against FC Twente's tally of 15 efforts at goal, 8 of which were on target.  

They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 6 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 9 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.  

A win for Almere City is just a distant memory, having not won a single match in 9 games.

On the back of a tough 8-0 home defeat by PSV, SC Heerenveen manager Kees van Wonderen will have some work to do to get his team in a confident mindset.  In that game they had 33% possession and managed 8 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to PSV who had 16 attempts and 11 on target.  

van Wonderen will be doing some careful analysis of his defence, who have seen their goal breached 18 times in their last 6 games while somehow managing to pick up some points along the way with 10 goals scored.  They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.  

Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.  

On an individual basis, Pelle van Amersfoort is giving SC Heerenveen's travelling fans plenty to shout about having scored 4 goals in the squad's last 6 away games in the league.
