Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-1
Heracles
After suffering a heavy 5-2 loss at PSV at the weekend, Twente will look to put an end to their four-game winless run when they host Heracles to their De Grolsch Veste on Matchday 12. The Reds have been slipping down the standings week by week, but this game could be the turning point for the home side. Twente trio Brama, Cerny, and Everink remains in the recovery room, while both Lukoki and Pierie are major doubts.
The Black and Whites, on the other hand, did well to hold Ajax to a goalless draw in their last league match. Heracles aim to escape the danger zone, and given Twente’s anything but good form, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Both Adrian Szoke and Lunding Jakobsen are major doubts, and the duo will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
