Prediction: 2-1
Excelsior
Heracles will look to make a miracle and overcome a three-goal deficit in the tie with Excelsior when the two teams face each other at Erve Asito in the Eredivisie playoffs semis, return leg. The Black and Whites failed to impress in the first leg, but the bookies still see them as favourites to beat Excelsior in front of home fans. All Azzaoui, Blaswich, Kiomourtzoglou, Oubella, and Sierhuis should miss out through injuries, while both Sierra and Roosken are pushing for a start.
The visitors, on the other hand, are on the cusp of making it to the promotion playoffs final. Even though Excelsior are likely to adopt a defence-minded approach in the return leg, home win should be considered as Heracles have turned their Erve Asito into a real fortress. Talented forward Marouan Azarkan is unlikely to feature for the visiting side after limping off with injury in the first leg.
