Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Fortuna Sittard and Heracles go head to head at Fortuna Sittard Stadion in what is expected to be an interesting Eredivisie game. Fortuna aim to put an end to their six-game winless run and we are positive that they will fight tooth and nail against Heracles. Head coach Danny Buijs has a full squad to choose from except for Inigo Cordoba, who remains on the sidelines with injury.
The Heraclieden, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 6-0 loss to PSV, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the home side. To make things even worse for the away team, defender Justin Hoogma is banned for the match, while all Sylian Mokono, Abdenego Nankishi, and Diego van Oorschot are out of contention with injuries. Both Jizz Hornkamp and Nikolai Laursen are major doubts.
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.
