Prediction: 2-1
Heracles
NEC Nijmegen will look to make amends for a 2-0 loss to PSV when they take on Heracles in the Eredivisie round 6. The hosts failed to extend their winning run to three games at the weekend, but their display in the clash with the reigning champions was anything but poor. Talented Japan midfielder Kodai Sano is banned for the match, with Mees Hoedemakers likely to step up. Both Robin Roefs and Borges Sanches are out of contention with injuries for the home side.
Erwin van de Looi’s troops, on the other hand, made a slow start to the season. As Heracles have yet to record a win in the new Eredivisie campaign, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed form the trip to Nijmegen. Heracles defender Jannes Wieckhoff continues to miss out with injury for 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.

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.
