Lazio's width and switches meet a Parma side trying to press higher and use mobile receivers. That combination gives both the first recovery and the attack after it an important role in the scoring flow. Den Haag and Heerenveen also have active pressing styles, but their recent headline scores overstate how regularly those attacks reached clear finishing positions. The two matches call for different readings of how chance supply continues.
Lazio have created through interceptions, crosses, switches and attacking substitutions. Parma's Torino blank still contained substantial box involvement, while the higher block exposed their width and loose-ball protection. Bernabé's next pass toward Romero and another moving forward gives Parma a route back into attacks.
Lazio's continuing absences already shaped the Juventus side, and Taylor has resumed group work with Dele-Bashiru an alternative. Parma's missing players narrow the options but leave Bernabé and Romero available in the expected setup. I expect Lazio's wide movements and Parma's forward pressure to keep creating spaces as the score develops. That's why I'm siding with more goals in Lazio against Parma.
In Den Haag, Eduardo and Rottier give ADO a direct escape, while Heerenveen can combine around markers and send a fullback beyond them. Heerenveen's recent suppression against Sparta and Excelsior provides evidence that those attacking movements can coexist with organised recovery. ADO's PSV comeback also needs separating from the long numerical advantage.
Smans is officially absent after starting Heerenveen's previous match, with Meerveld named as his replacement. Proper remains out, while ADO's reported striker absences reduce alternatives without removing Eduardo and Rottier. I expect competitive spells and genuine chances, with fewer repeated clear openings than the recent scores suggest. That's why I'm siding with fewer goals in Den Haag against Heerenveen.
