Heracles vs Heerenveen Match Preview
“If we don’t win, it’s really going to be tough”, Ron Jans said about the away match against Heracles Almelo on Saturday. The Heerenveen-coach still hopes to qualify for the play-offs for a Europa League ticket at the end of the regular season, but his team will have to turn things around to stay in contention. Heerenveen only took one point from its last four matches. Heerenveen never won an away match at Heracles in the Dutch top flight.
Heracles won its last three matches with a total goal difference of 14-3. On their own artificial turf Peter Bosz’ team is undefeated in its past seven home matches. Heracles lost only one of its twelve home matches this Eredivisie season.
In Friesland Heerenveen defeated Heracles 3-2 earlier this season. The home team got 2-0 up but the visitors managed to fight back and only surrendered when Birgir Maertens scored an own goal in the 94th minute.
