A high-stakes clash awaits at Abe Lenstra Stadion as SC Heerenveen host Excelsior at 9:00 PM today, both eyeing a key result in the Eredivisie.

SC Heerenveen are under pressure to rediscover form after a difficult run. Excelsior have been relatively steady, taking 2 victories in recent outings.

Historically, SC Heerenveen hold the edge with 4 wins to Excelsior's 3 in 10 meetings. 3 of those have ended in draws. Their most recent meeting saw Excelsior came out on top 0-3.

SC Heerenveen's preferred 4-3-3 shape may stretch the field, while Excelsior's 4-2-3-1 setup looks built for discipline.

Expect a tight, tactical affair. SC Heerenveen may hold the edge at Abe Lenstra Stadion, but Excelsior's quality on the break shouldn't be underestimated.
