Heracles slipped to a fourth defeat in five games in the Dutch top flight before the international break when they were handed a 1-0 loss on the road at Utrecht but the hosts will at least hold home advantage for this relegation battle against bottom club, RKC Waalwijk.
It’s also worth noting that three out of Heracles’ recent four defeats were dealt out to them away from home but they did manage to register a 2-0 home win against NAC Breda in between the losses.
Previous back-to-back wins against NEC and Heerenveen respectively towards the end of September will also give the hosts reason to feel confident about their chances of picking up an important three points here at their Asito Stadion, especially as Heracles have won two of their last three home games.
RKC Waalwijk have managed to pick up just four points so far in what has been a miserable Eredivisie campaign for the visitors which includes collecting just the single win to date this term.
That rare success came in the form of a 2-0 home win against second from bottom club Almere City but also includes being handed no fewer than 10 defeats within their opening 12 league matches as well.
Results away from home have been even worse though for Hendrikus Fraser’s side though as the visitors have lost all five of their away games so far this season, conceding a total of 17 goals in the process and managing to score just 4 in reply.
The bigger picture shows RKC Waalwijk have registered just one win from their previous 16 outings on the road in the Dutch top flight, slipping to no fewer than 13 defeats along the way.
The Betting Verdict
With home advantage and sneaking ahead with three wins to Waalwijk’s one, Heracles look the more likely for the points here.
The Pick :
Heracles 1-0 RKC Waalwijk
