Feyenoord and Heerenveen enter this second round of the 2014-2015 Eredivisie on the back of different results, with the bet on Feyenord to win being rated at just 1.50 by the bookies.
Feyenoord did well to get a 1-0 road win at ADO Den Haag in the first round but the performance was not too great – Feyenoord scored in the 90th minute after failing to create too many chances during the match. On the other hand they put on a solid defensive performance and will try to build on that when they meet a traditionally high scoring Heerenveen side. Feyenoord looks to attack the title again this year so a win is the only thing on their mind today.
Heerenveen lost at home to relegation candidates Dordrecht 1-2 in their Eredivisie opener, a disappointing result and an even more disappointing performance, with Heerenveen barely managing 2 shots on goal for the entire match. Despite the result, the manager declared he will not make too many changes for today`s game and that he trusts his side to improve – but it will need to be a great improvement if they are to challenge for points in Rotterdam against one of the Top 3 sides in the league.

Everybody is talking about goals galore and bets on the over when Eredivisie foobtall is on and especially when Heerenveen or even Feyenoord play, but the facts are the following: the odds for the over are rubbish and in the last 5 direct meetings all games between the two teams finished with maximum 3 goals (three times with under 2,5). Furthermore, in the first round neither team has shown too much offensive power. I reckon there`s very good value in a bet on a low scoring game here. The way Heerenveen played in the first round there`s a decent chance they will remain scoreless here, but Feyenoord does not look likely to score at will either. My tip is under 3 goals to be scored – firstly a value bet, but also with good chances to end up a winner – and a rather safe choice as well, considering we get the money back if 3 goals are scored. Regarding the 1×2 market, I think the Feyenoord win at odds of 1.50 looks high risk, low reward, so it is not worth it. Prediction: Feyenoord Rotterdam – Heerenveen 1-0.
