Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Heracles play host to Almere City at their Asito Stadium in what is expected to be a close Eredivisie encounter. The Black and Whites are desperate to register their first win of the season and they are likely to go all guns blazing at Almere. Even though there are no fresh injury concerns in the home team, midfielder Sem Scheperman should sneak into the starting line-up.
Meanwhile, the visitors made a slow start to the season as well, collecting only one point in total from possible twelve. As Almere City are not regarded as good travellers, we believe that the time has come for Heracles to get back on course. Speaking of the away team, talented forward Junior Kadile is widely expected to make his first start after joining Almere from Laval earlier this summer. There are no fresh injury concerns in the visiting side.

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.
