Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Following a 2-2 draw with Nijmegen, Zwolle will be aiming to return to winning ways in the Eredivisie when they take on Heracles in Sunday’s matinee. Johnny Jansen’s troops defeated Excelsior 2-1 in their last home game, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Heracles. Defender Anselmo Garcia MacNulty serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards.
The Black and Whites, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 2-0 loss to Heerenveen. Heracles and Zwolle seem to be evenly matched at the moment and, taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. The good news for the visiting side is that both Justin Hoogma and Thomas Bruns are back from suspension. There are no fresh injury worries in the away side ahead of the trip to Overijssel.
Highlighted Team (Zwolle):
Founded on June 12, 1910, PEC Zwolle is a Dutch football club which competes in the Eredivisie.

Zwolle’s home kit is blue and white, while the colour of their away jersey is green and white.
