Heracles
Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-1
Sittard
Heracles will look to recover from an unlucky loss to AZ Alkmaar when they take on Fortuna Sittard on Matchday 15. The Black and Whites were on the verge of sharing the spoils with AZ at the weekend, but Mayckel Lahdo eventually scored a late winner for the Cheese Farmers. Fit-again midfielder Sem Scheperman should once again start from the bench, whilst all Stijn Bultman, Sava Cestic, and Nikolai Laursen remain doubtful.
Danny Buijs’ troops, on the other hand, did well to hold Feyenoord to a 1-1 draw at De Kuip, but it has to be noted that De Trots van Zuid failed to turn their dominance into more goals. As Heracles are tough to beat at home, we do not believe that Fortuna are capable of grabbing more than one point from Saturday’s encounter. In their last meeting in the national championship the two teams played out a goalless draw.
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.
