Wednesday evening brings us action from the Dutch top flight and a clash between Waalwijk and Heracles in the Eredivisie at the Mandemakers Stadion with Waalwijk looking to pull further away from the relegation zone.
Waalwijk sit in 14th place in the Eredivisie standings but although they hold a three-point cushion over third from bottom side, Sparta Rotterdam, the hosts know that defeat could edge them closer to deeper trouble.
However, a recent 3-1 home win against Groningen followed by a useful point in a 1-1 draw away at Cambuur have helped ease Waalwijk’s relegation worries and improved results of late have seen the hosts lose just two of their last seven games overall.
Heracles dropped down to 13th place in the Eredivisie standings following a 2-0 defeat away at Willem II and the visitors face another tricky outing on Wednesday night when they take on Waalwijk at the Mandemakers Stadion.
Heracles still hold a two point cushion over their hosts prior to this midweek encounter but having managed to win just two of their last eight games overall, Heracles may find their opponents difficult to deal with here.
In particular, the fact that Heracles have won just twice in their last 20 matches on the road, a poor run of results that include no fewer than 15 defeats, Heracles could do well to even pick up a point in this one.
The Betting Verdict
Waalwijk have won the previous two meetings at home on the trot against Heracles and the hosts look a decent prospect to get something from this encounter as well.
The Pick :
Waalwijk 2 Heracles 1
