Heerenveen vs Heracles Prediction – Eredivisie

The visiting team currently occupies 12th place, having accumulated 27 points from 6 wins, 9 draws, and 10 losses. They were victorious in their penultimate match, winning at home against PEC Zwolle (4–2), but suffered a recent defeat against Fortuna Sittard (1–0) away. Heracles are significantly affected by home advantage; they perform much better with the backing of their supporters, as indicated by their away record of 5 wins, 1 draw, and 9 losses in their last 30 matches on the road, having scored only 12 goals while conceding 27. Conversely, they excelled at home with 5 wins, 9 draws, and just 1 loss, having scored 27 goals and allowed 19. In their last 10 away matches this season, the team has recorded just 2 wins, 1 draw, and 7 losses, earning 7 points from a possible 30. Additionally, they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, underscoring defensive weaknesses, although their attack has found the net in 8 of those 10 games. In 25 league matches, they have only overturned a deficit in 1 of the 10 times they conceded the opening goal.

Heracles’ away performances have raised concerns. The team struggles to produce favourable results, having lost their last two matches as visitors. To avoid further setbacks, adapting their strategy is crucial. A more reactive approach, capitalising on counter-attacks effectively, could be imperative for securing a positive outcome against Heerenveen.
