Bet365 Match Odds
PSV Eindhoven 1/2
Draw 10/3
Heerenveen 5/1

Cocu’s first game in charge saw them draw with Valencia at home, which wasn’t enough to see them progress in the Europa League.

There seems to be something amiss with the PSV team at present, and in form Heerenveen will see this game as an opportunity to shock Dutch football and inflict a second heavy home defeat on their rivals.

PSV were unbeaten at home all season prior to their 2-6 drubbing at the hands of Twente two weeks ago, and confidence must be at a season low at present.

Heerenveen must expect a very tough game at the Philips Stadium, but they are meeting their opponents at a very vulnerable time and may be able to pounce on that instability and gain a valuable 3 points and keep their title dream on track for now.
