Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Sunday’s football game at Erve Asito pits together Heracles and Twente, the two teams who sit in the top half of the table. Heracles aim to make amends for a massive 4-0 loss to Go Ahead Eagles and they are likely to go all guns blazing at Twente. Thomas Bruns is back from suspension, while Diego van Oorschot misses out with injury.
The Reds, on the other hand, are eyeing their fourth consecutive league win and they will surely give their best to keep yet another clean sheet. Anyhow, Twente are more of a team than Heracles, who experienced all sorts of problems at the back on Matchday 8. Defender Gijs Smal is unlikely to be risked, while all Naci Unuvar, Max Bruns, and Joshua Brenet are major doubts. Joseph Oosting is unlikely to make changes to the team that crushed Fortuna Sittard 3-0 in their last league fixture.
Highlighted Team (Heracles):
Heracles is a professional Dutch club based in Almelo. The club was formed back in May 1903 and named after Heracles, the demigod son of Zeus. From 1974 to 1998 the club played under the name of SC Heracles ’74. The Heraclieden’s home colours are black and white, while blue is the dominant colour of their away shirt.
Twente are considered one of the club’s main rivals in the Netherlands. Speaking of the club’s achievements, it has to be noted that Heracles have won two Eredivisie trophies (1926/27, 1940/41). In the 2011/12 season they made it to the Dutch Cup final. Heracles faced PSV in the title game, with the Dutch giants proving to be a big catch for the underdogs.
PSV won the game 3-0. In the 2016/17 season Heracles participated in the Europa League, with the team suffering elimination to Arouca in the third qualifying round. Everton is leading the club’s all-time goal-scoring chart with 77 goals.
