Prediction: 1-0
Heracles
Willem II and Heracles go head to head at Konig Willem II Stadion in what is expected to be a close Eredivisie encounter. The Tricolores are stuck at the bottom of the table, but a win over Heracles will see them keep their survival hopes alive. Thijs Oosting should miss out with injury, while both Miquel Nelom and Ringo Meerveld are major doubts.
The Black and Whites, on the other hand, head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Twente. Heracles are safe as they are eight points clear of the relegation zone, meaning that a defeat at Konig Willem II Stadion will not hurt them too much. To make things even worse for the visiting side, important midfielder Anas Ouahim misses the match through suspension as he was sent off in the last league fixture.
