Heerenveen vs Groningen Prediction (18.01.2026)

Heerenveen showed a clear upswing even before the New Year, after recording two consecutive convincing victories with a score of 3:0. This positive trend continued a week ago, when the team reached a 2:2 draw against Feyenoord – a result that once again confirmed that their form is on the rise.

Groningen are also in a good period, having not lost in their last four league matches. Moreover, they have already managed to defeat Heerenveen once this season, which gives them additional confidence. However, playing away remains a challenge, especially against an opponent who clearly feels increasingly confident at home.

Given Heerenveen's upward form, their stable recent results, and the home advantage, my expectation is that they will manage to avoid defeat in this match. That is why my prediction here is 1X, with the hosts likely to at least reach a draw.
