SC Heerenveen will host PSV Eindhoven at the Abe Lenstra Stadion on Saturday evening in the 16th round of the 2024-25 Dutch Eredivisie campaign. The hosts will be hoping to boost their confidence by getting a surprise result against the league leaders.
Heerenveen picked up only their fifth win of the season in a 2-1 win away to Willem II last weekend. They have, however, struggled to find consistent form, failing to get back-to-back league wins all season and are unlikely to end that run come Saturday.
PSV continued their outstanding league campaign with a thundering 6-1 victory over Twente last time out. Peter Bosz’s side are seven points clear at the top of the table, having won all but one of their 15 league games and will be confident to continue their impressive form when they face Heerenveen this weekend.

SC Heerenveen vs PSV Eindhoven Prediction
Heerenveen's latest result ended a run of back-to-back winless outings and they will now be looking to kick on from that this weekend. They will, however, have to be at their very best and take inspiration from their strong home form to pick up a positive result on Saturday.
PSV, on the other hand, saw their latest result snap a six-game winning run. They are overwhelming favorites for the weekend clash and should get a comfortable victory to extend their points gap at the top of the table.
