Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-2
Excelsior
Erve Asito will host Saturday’s football game between Heracles and Excelsior. The Black and Whites aim to build on a 2-1 win over Nijmegen and they are surely capable of matching Excelsior in front of home fans. All Jizz Hornkamp, Jannes Wieckhoff, and Nikolai Laursen are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team. Marinus Dijkhuizen’s troops, on the other hand, are undefeated in the new Eredivisie season.
Excelsior have been scoring goals for fun of late and seeing that Heracles are a real force to be reckoned with at home, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Both Lennard Hartjes and Kik Pierie miss out with injuries for the visiting team. In their last encounter in the Dutch top flight Excelsior defeated Heracles 3-1 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
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.
