Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
After surviving RKC in Waalwijk at the weekend, Feyenoord will look to stay in the title race when they face Heracles at De Kuip. The Rotterdammers are ten points behind league leaders PSV in the Eredivisie standings, meaning that this has to go down as yet another must-win game for the hosts. The likes of Bueno, Hartman, Lotomba, Mitchell, and Ueda should miss out with injuries for the home side.
The Black and Whites, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form and given their four-game winless run in the national championship, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home side. Both Stijn Bultman and Nikolai Laursen miss out with injuries, while defender Sava Cestic remains doubtful for the away team. It has to be noted that last time out Feyenoord defeated Heracles 3-0 in Rotterdam.
Highlighted Team (Feyenoord):
Back in 1908 football club Wilhemina was founded in the pub De Vereeniging and they played their home games in blue-sleeved red shirts and white shorts. The club’s name was changed to Hillesluise in 1909 and soon they became RVV Celeritas.
Finally, in 1912 the club got a name SC Feijenoord. Feyenoord won their first Eredivisie trophy in 1924 and 75 years later they clinched their 14th domestic trophy, finishing the season 15 points clear of second-placed Willem II. De Trots van Zuid play their home games at De Kuip and the capacity of the venue is 51 117.
The club’s fiercest rivals are Ajax and the two teams face each other in der Klassieker. The likes of Craig Bellamy, Gerrard Fox, Wouter Bos and Raemon Sluiter are notable supporters of the club. It is well known that football legends Johan Cruyff, Ruud Gullit and Peter Houtman all played for Feyenoord in the past. De Trots van Zuid play their home games in red-white shirts and black shorts.
