  • 5' The home supporters are growing impatient. SC Heerenveen must find a spark to ignite this game.
  • 10' SBV Vitesse is showing some good football. However, SBV Vitesse are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 15' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 20' SBV Vitesse are keeping things exceptionally tight at the back. It will take something special to break them down.
  • 25' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Rami Kaib made 369 appearances and scored 1 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.

  • 45' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 45 minutes.
  • 50' Ibrahim Dresevic needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Red cards this season.
  • 55' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.
