Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Heracles will look to recover from a 5-0 loss to Twente when they host NAC Breda at the Asito Stadium this weekend. Known for their attacking style, Heracles have been involved in some thrilling matches recently, with goals flowing at both ends. The visitors, on the other hand, have seen over 2.5 goals scored in each of their last three league games, suggesting another high-scoring contest.
The last time these teams met in Almelo, Heracles recorded an emphatic 5-1 win, and with Breda’s defence weakened by the suspension of Jan Van den Bergh, the home side will feel optimistic about their chances in front of goal. Heracles will be missing midfielder Sem Scheperman due to injury, but they remain well-positioned to put pressure on Breda’s backline. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score.
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.
