Prediction: 2-1
Heracles
Go Ahead Eagles will be aiming to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Groningen when they take on Heracles in the Eredivisie round 8. The weekend triumph gave G.A. Eagles a confidence boost and, as a result, the bookies see them as hot favourites to win Sunday’s matinee. Norway forward Oliver Edvardsen is widely expected to return to the starting XI after scoring the winner as a substitute at the weekend, while midfielder Dean James remains on the sidelines with injury.
The Black and Whites, on the other hand, have been raising their form week by week and their displays in back-to-back wins over NEC and Heerenveen must be fuelling fans with optimism ahead of upcoming challenges. All Nikolai Laursen, Sava Cestic, and Sem Scheperman continue to miss out with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the visiting team ahead of the trip to Deventer.
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.
