Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Heracles and Zwolle go head to head at Erve Asito in what is expected to be an interesting Eredivisie encounter. Heracles have a chance to climb to the playoffs berth, but Sunday’s clash will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. Despite the fact that the Black and Whites dropped a two-goal advantage in a 2-2 draw with Volendam, John Lammers is unlikely to make too many changes to the starting XI that shared the spoils with Volendam.
Zwolle, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-0 loss to AZ Alkmaar, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the hosts. As for the visiting team, both Ryan Thomas and Samir Lagsir are major doubts and the duo will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
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.
