Heerenveen is struggling with consistency in the Eredivisie, with only one win in their last four matches. The team of outgoing coach Marco van Basten is having trouble putting together a good run. The Frisians have not yet managed to win more than two games in a row. Heerenveen won only one of their last four league matches, against ADO Den Haag on February 1. The club has already scored 48 goals this season, just two less than during the entire previous season. If Heerenveen concedes one goal against FC Groningen, the club will have received at least forty goals in the Eredivisie for the tenth consecutive season. Heerenveen and FC Groningen will face each other for the twentieth time in Groningen. Both clubs have won six times and the match has ended in a draw seven times. Heerenveen won three of their last four home matches against FC Groningen in the Eredivisie. The club must therefore prepare well for the upcoming match against FC Groningen. With the help of players like Ramon Min, Heerenveen must try to get back on track.
