Heerenveen will welcome PSV Eindhoven to the Abe Lenstra Stadion on matchday nine of the Eredivisie on Sunday (October 9).
The hosts are coming off a goalless draw against Emmen at home last weekend. PSV, meanwhile, suffered a shock 3-0 defeat at Cambuur in their last league outing. All three goals came after the break, with Sai Van Wermeskerken wrapping up the scoring in the 90th minute.
PSV responded with a 5-1 victory at FC Zurich in the UEFA Europa League in midweek. Yorbe Vertessen and Cody Gakpo scored braces in the rout.

Heerenveen vs PSV Prediction
PSV have lost their last two away league outings, which has put a minor dent in their title aspirations. Ruud van Nistelrooy's men will have to bounce back to avoid falling further behind in the title race.
Meanwhile, Heerenveen's strong home form has been the driving force behind their continental push. De Superfriezen have largely been compact in front of their fans, but PSV's attacking talent means the hosts' defence is likely to be breached.
PSV should claim a comfortable win with goals to be scored at both ends.
