Cambuur vs Heerenveen Prediction: De Superfriezen To Get Back To Winning Ways

In the 22nd round of the Eredivisie, Cambuur will host Heerenveen at the Cambuur Stadion.

Will Cambuur, which has lost its last seven games at home, turn things around and start winning in front of their supporters, or will they suffer another heartbreaking defeat, extending their home losing streak to eight games?

Let's have a look at the latest Netherlands Eredivisie predictions between Cambuur vs Heerenveen, team news, probable lineups, match facts and up to date betting odds for you to consider!

Cambuur

Form: DLLWL

In their recent meeting against NEC Nijmegen, they distanced themselves from the underdog tag and proved the bookies wrong by putting up a much-needed fight to salvage a point, as the match concluded in a scoreless tie.

Unfortunately, this did not reverse their current dismal form, which has seen them with only one win in their past seven games across all competitions, and as a result of this, they were eliminated from the KNVB Cup in the second round after a 1:0 defeat to third-tier De Treffers on the road.

Their home record hasn't instilled much confidence in them or their boisterous fans, as they are currently on a 7-match losing streak, with their last home win being a shocker, a 3:0 victory over PSV Eindhoven, and it's without a doubt that Sjors Ultee will want to see that kind of performance reignited once more.

They are currently in 17th place with 13 points in the relegation zone and are four points away from safety, so a win in this match is critical.

Team News

Cambuur will be without 21-year-old midfielder Maxim Gullit, who is out with a knee injury, as well as Jamie Jacobs and Robin Maulun, who are still recovering from their injuries.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-3-3

Ruiter; Bangura, Smand, Bergsma, Schmidt; Van Kaam, Paulissen, Breij; Foor, Johnsen, Van der Water

Heerenveen

Form: LLLLW

De Superfriezen suffered an unfortunate ordeal in their most recent home match against Feyenoord, as they were unable to capitalize on their opponents' fatigued legs, allowing two goals in the first 34 minutes.

However, they had a response in the 75th minute to get a consolation goal through Syb van Ottele's goal, but it could have been a different tale if Pawel Bochniewicz's goal had not been ruled out by VAR in the 19th minute, thus concluding the day with a 2:1 defeat.

Kees van Wonderen's men are plagued by inconsistency, as they are on on a four-match losing run, and despite having two opportunities handed to them in which they were apparent favourites to win, they were unable to live up to their billing, losing to Fortuna Sittard on the road 2:1 and to Vitesse at home 3:1.

With 21 games played, they've earned 27 points from six draws, eight losses, and seven victories, and they currently sit in 9th place, three points behind eighth place. Getting back to winning ways will be at the top of their agenda in this match.

Team News

Sven van Beek, Andries Noppert, and Pelle van Amersfoort have all been ruled out due to injury for Heerenveen.

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-4-2

Mous; Kohlert, Bochniewicz, Van Ottele, Van Ewijk; Colassin, Tahiri, Haye, Olsson; Van Hooijdonk, Nunnely

Expert Betting Tips

Cambuur has paid a hefty price for their inconsistent play in games, which has placed them in second-to-last place in the standings and has them waking up to the worst nightmare of being relegated. Regaining their winning ways has now taken precedence over all other considerations, and dropping points from this point forward will simply put them in an already challenging situation.

Heerenveen lost to Feyenoord despite putting on a nearly impressive performance, and they have more than enough quality in their ranks to further damage the hosts' poor home record. 

As a result, expect a more convincing performance from the visitors, who have the advantage in head-to-head meetings, to secure all three points, but to be safe, choose them in the Handicap (0) in case of a draw.

• Handicap 2 (0) for 1.70
• Both Teams To Score (Yes) for 1.70
• Goals - Over 2.5 for 1.97
