sc Heerenveen this season
It is a first half of the season with high peaks and deep valleys for the Frisians. In the run-up to the new season, the club regularly received praise for the way it played under new head coach Robin van Persie. However, this is not yet fully reflected in the results. Heerenveen will undoubtedly aim for a place in the left row this season, but is in twelfth place with ten games played. Five games were lost, including the record defeat against AZ: 9-1. To date, they have won three times and drawn twice.
One of the three victories was achieved last weekend. Sparta Rotterdam was defeated 2-0 in its own Abe Lenstra Stadium. In addition, there was a midweek victory in the cup tournament. IJsselmeervogels was put aside with some effort; 2-3.
Eye-catcher
Mats Köhlert is completely revived at Heerenveen this season. The defender is in his third season with the northerners, who took him over on a transfer from Willem II in 2022. The HSV youth product has not missed a minute this season. In the ten Eredivisie-games that Köhlert played, he was responsible for an assist three times. In addition to the former German youth international, there is another player who should be kept a close eye on. Jacob Trenskow has now found his niche at Heerenveen. The Danish winger, who came over from Kalmar FF this summer, has been involved in five goals in his last six matches: three goals, two assists.
Details
Before the match, we will commemorate Ivo Pinto's 100th match. The captain played his hundredth match in Sittard's yellow-green against FC Groningen.
