Heerenveen, meanwhile, are down in ninth position in the Dutch league with just 31 points and are winless in their last three games across competitions.
Kees van Wonderen's side were beaten 4-1 by RKC Waalwijk and later held to a 3-3 draw by Twente in the league. Interspersed between that was a 1-0 loss to Feyenoord in the Coupe de France quarterfinals.
