Eredivisie
The two sides have faced each other nine times since 2017, seven of which were in Holland’s top flight. Heerenveen were the more successful team during this period, achieving five wins and two clean sheets. NAC Breda won four games, including a friendly in 2020. The average number of goals per game during this period was 3.11, suggesting a high level of entertainment.
SC Heerenveen team overview
Heerenveen continue to improve ever since they got promotion to the Eredivisie in the 2022-23 season. The Super Frisians finished 11th in their inaugural Eredivisie campaign, but improved last season to finish 9th. They are currently in the same position as last season, but three wins and three draws from nine games is already a sign of their ambition.
Robin Veldman’s side secured back-to-back wins for the first time this season by beating Telstar last weekend and, in doing so, scored at least twice for the fourth consecutive league game.
Dylan Vente’s goal in that game took his tally for the campaign to five, and the Netherlands-born forward will continue to lead the line.
In terms of injuries, the hosts will be without Pawel Bochniewicz, Levi Smans (both knee) and Amourricho van Axel Dongen (muscle).

NAC Breda team overview
Meanwhile, NAC Breda returned to the top flight last season after spending five years in the Eerste Divisie. The Parels van het Zuiden finished the 2024-25 campaign only one place above the relegation zone, and it seems they have made no improvements.
Indeed, Carl Hoefkens’ side have won only two of their last nine league games, losing five, and have conceded the fifth-highest number of goals.
They are preparing for Friday’s game after failing to win their last three, a run featuring defeats to Ajax and Groningen. They will face another tough challenge this week against NAC against whom they lost 4-2 earlier in January.
To make matters worse, Moussa Soumano and Terence Kongolo will be unavailable for selection due to knee and muscle injuries, respectively.

Prediction
Boasting three wins in their last four league games and an excellent head-to-head record, the hosts are favourites, and I don’t think they will leave Friday’s game without all three points. NAC Breda have not kept a clean sheet in six matches, and conceded four goals the last time the two sides met, so I am predicting a 3-1 home win.
Three reasons we expect at least three goals in this game
- Seven of the last eight games of NAC ended with three or more goals.
- Bets on over 2.5 goals won in seven of the last eight games of Heerenveen.
- Each of the last three meetings between Heerenveen and NAC ended with over 2.5 goals.
