Den Haag vs Heerenveen Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 24 October 2026
📢 Den Haag continue to struggle badly at the start of the new season. The club sit second from bottom in the table and have been unable to find their footing either in attack or in defence. Heerenveen, by contrast, are playing more balanced football and sit eighth. The visitors remain well placed in the race for European spots, though they are eight points behind the Champions League zone. Den Haag are under serious pressure from the threat of relegation, so the upcoming home fixture represents a good opportunity for them to improve their position and end their poor run.

Head-to-head statistics Den Haag - Heerenveen

Den Haag are winless in their last five matches
In their most recent Eredivisie match on 17 October 2026, Den Haag were trailing PSV 0-1 at half-time at home but came back to win 2-1. The shot count was almost level at 16-15, while expected goals gave PSV a slight edge: 1.43 to 1.31.
Den Haag continue to struggle in the Eredivisie and sit second-bottom after nine rounds, having picked up just six points. During that period the club have managed only one win, alongside three draws and five defeats. The main problem for the hosts is an unreliable defence, which concedes an average of 2.22 goals per match. Their attack, meanwhile, scores just 1.22 goals per game, so they are far from always able to make up for defensive errors. Den Haag's home matches have been particularly high-scoring: at least three goals have been scored in six of their last seven games at their own ground.

In 6 of their last 7 head-to-head meetings, Den Haag have taken fewer than 4.5 corners against Heerenveen.
