Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Heerenveen and Heracles face each other at Abe Lenstra Stadion in the opening match of day 27. Heerenveen have been playing some boring draws of late, with the team sharing the spoils with both Willem II and RKC Waalwijk in the previous two league fixtures. De Superfriezen failed to win the previous nine league fixtures; therefore, we are positive that they will leave their hearts on the field in Friday’s showdown.
Defender Pawel Bochniewicz remains in the recovery room, but there are no fresh selection worries in the home team. The Black and Whites, on the other hand, played out a goalless draw with Vitesse in their last league fixtures. Heracles are eager to put an end to their four-game winless run, and seeing that they will go for a triumph as well, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Defender Giacomo Quagliata is banned for the match.
Highlighted Player (Erwin Mulder):
Erwin Mulder is an experienced Dutch footballer who plays for Heerenveen as a goalkeeper. Mulder spent his youth career at R.K.P.S.C, Vitesse Arnhem, and Feyenoord, and he continued playing for the Rotterdam club at senior level.
After making 120 appearances in the Eredivisie with Feyenoord, the 193-cm-tall shot-stopper signed for Heerenveen as a free agent in the summer of 2015. It has to be noted, though, that Erwin Mulder was loaned to Excelsior during his spell with Feyenoord. His next stop was Swansea City where he made 29 league appearances before returning to Heerenveen in 2020.
Erwin Mulder was born in Pannerden on March 3, 1989, and he has three caps with the Netherlands U20 team. He has yet to earn a call-up with the Oranje senior team. The Heerenveen goalkeeper was named in the Netherlands Euro 2012 provisional squad, but after the training with the national team, he failed to make the cut.
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.
