Prediction: 2-1
Sittard
Heracles will be aiming to put an end to their four-game losing run in Eredivisie when they face Fortuna Sittard at Asito Stadium. Erwin van de Looi’s troops are eager to give fans something to cheer about on the last day of the season. Therefore, we are positive that the Black and Whites are going to leave their hearts on the field. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the home team, experienced midfielder should sneak into the starting XI.
Fortuna Sittard, on the other hand, failed to win the previous seven league matches and seeing that Heracles are eager to finish the season in style, home win should be considered. In the first half of the season Fortuna outplayed Heracles 4-1, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge. Both Kaj Sierhuis and Michael Verrips are sidelined with injuries for the visiting team.
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.

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.
