Willem II - Heracles predictions

Predicting which side will win this match based on odds alone is a complete toss-up. We would say the hosts have a bit of an advantage, but their success is by no means assured.

Heracles is known for their determination and we expect them to give their all in pursuit of a win in this match.

It’s fair to say Willem II were not expected to return home from their previous league trip with anything more than their tail between their legs. However, a brave display saw them earn a colossal point (NEC) after they even had a first-time lead against a heavily favoured rival.

Heracles played against Feyenoord last round, so it’s hard to be surprised by the harsh 1:4 home loss. The 1.56 betting odds are a good indication of just how one-sided such a matchup is.

With a defensive record like the one Willem II boasts, their fans may have a reason to worry. They conceded more than 5 goals in their previous 3 home games alone – the advantage of playing at Sportpark Den Donk seems lost on them.

It’s easy to spot a certain trend when looking over Heracles’s recent history – and not in a good way. Their latest appearances were marked by a high concession rate. For example, their previous 3 matches featured more than 5 conceded goals.

Willem II have a 16th place in the standings going into round 32. There’s still time left to improve their position, but the teams placed lower will be highly motivated to avoid relegation. The showdown this Friday is evenly-matched, but all teams are motivated to give it their best.

Willem II have had the chance to play against Heracles several times this season, albeit not always as part of the Eredivisie. The matchup recorded several draws and failed to produce a winner so far, but the favourites Willem II are hoping to finally gain a clear advantage over their opponents.

This Friday, both teams will be at full strength and able to give it their all.

Going for a Home Win is already a fairly safe bet but we’d like to shore it up even further. The highest-value way of achieving this is through a Draw No Bet wager, which shortens the odds to 1 but is well worth the price.
