Prediction: 2-2
Sparta Rotterdam
Heracles and Sparta Rotterdam square off against each other at Asito Stadium in what is expected to be an interesting Eredivisie game. Heracles are on a six-game losing run in the Dutch top flight, with the team continuously struggling at the back. Given their shaky defence and lack of confidence, we do not believe that there is a big value in betting on the home team. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of Sparta’s visit.
The Rotterdammers, on the other hand, suffered a heavy 5-1 loss to Sparta Rotterdam in their last league match. As both Sparta and Heracles will go for a win in the closing match of Saturday’s program, there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Midfielder Shunsuke Mito remains in the recovery room, but the 22-year-old should be the only absentee in the away 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. 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.
