Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Willem II
Match Time & Date:

20:00
Prediction: 2-1
Heracles
Willem II will be aiming to move away from the automatic relegation berth when they face Heracles at their Koning Willem II Stadion. The Tricolores do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team collecting only one point in total from the last nine league matches, but Friday’s clash could turn their fortunes around in the season finale. The likes of Mathieu, Sandra, and Sigurgeirsson remain in the recovery room, while both Bosch and Meerveld are major doubts.
The Black and Whites, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in back-to-back losses to Groningen (1-4) and Feyenoord (1-4), which is yet another reason why we are going to place our bets on the home side. Midfielder Sem Scheperman is banned for the visiting side, while both Sava-Arangel Cestic and Nicolai Laursen remain on the sidelines with injuries.
Highlighted Team (Willem II):
Based in Tilburg, Netherlands, Willem II is a professional football club that competes in the Eredivisie. The Tricolores were founded back in August 1896 under the name of Tilburgia, but the club’s first big success came in the 1915/16 season when they won the national championship.
Willem II repeated the success in the 1951/52 Eredivisie campaign, with the team winning their third domestic trophy three years later. When it comes to KNVB Cup, the Tricolores have won it on two occasions (1943/44, 1962/63). Willem II are well known for their white shirts with red and blue strips, while their away kit is mainly mint with dark navy accents.
The Tricolores play home matches at Koning Willem II Stadion, the venue with the capacity of 14,700 spectators. Willem II have fierce rivals in Nac Breda, as the cities of Breda and Tilburg are only 20 kilometers apart. Former Barcelona and Arsenal star Marc Overmars is one of the most notable footballers who played for the club.
