Go Ahead Eagles enter this cup tie on the back of a 2-2 draw with Fortuna Sittard but continue to struggle for momentum, collecting just 0.80 points per game overall. Therefore, we predict that they will play out a 2-2 draw with Heracles after 90 minutes. The Eagles' squad depth is stretched, with Nauber, Saathof, Tengstedt, and Weijenberg all sidelined. Defensively, the hosts remain fragile: they concede 2.00 goals per home match and have no clean sheets this season. Still, they rarely go down quietly — BTTS has landed in 80% of their home fixtures, with the team averaging 1.40 goals scored in Deventer.
The Black and Whites have been inconsistent but remain a more potent attacking unit, scoring 2.70 goals per game overall and an impressive 3.40 at home. Even away from Almelo, they average 2.00 goals, though defensive issues persist (1.80 conceded in all venues). Engels and Benita pushing for a place in the XI adds depth following the 2-0 loss to Sparta Rotterdam. Historically, this fixture is tight, with Heracles holding a narrow 7–6 edge across 15 meetings.
Given both sides’ defensive problems and strong BTTS trends, another lively contest is expected. Therefore, BTTS is our main betting pick, alongside Over 2.5 (60% H2H) and Over 3.5 goals (47%).
This KNVB Cup match will be played on Wednesday 14 January 2026 at 19:00.
