Go Ahead Eagles-Heracles Statistical Preview

Team News

Go Ahead Eagles

• Kevin Spanjaard remains sidelined with injury. Foeke Booy is expected to not make too many chances from last time out.

Heracles

• Heracles will be without Milano Koenders and Aleksei Kangaskolkka. Mike te Wierik is a doubt.
• Jan de Jonge though is expected to start with much of the side that defeated Feyenoord.

Match Facts

• There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 9 of Go Ahead Eagles’s last 10 games in Eredivisie.
• There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 8 of Heracles’s last 9 away games in Eredivisie.
• Go Ahead Eagles have conceded at least 2 goals in their last 4 matches in Eredivisie.
• Go Ahead Eagles are undefeated in their last 5 home matches in Eredivisie.

Prediction

• Heracles defied the odds by leaving De Kuip last Sunday will all three points, a victory that could be looked back on as a turning point, considering how often this season they’ve struggled for consistency. A trip to Go Ahead Eagles, after what they achieved last weekend, should in theory pose little trouble, but this is the Eredivisie after all; nothing this campaign has made much sense.
• The Eagles in truth have also defied many people’s expectations. They are meant to be struggling, but instead sit just a point behind Heracles. However, the last week has seen a reality check courtesy of a thumping 5-0 defeat at NAC Breda. If they’re going to stay up, as the old cliché goes, it will be the result of their performances at home. So far, so good, the Eagles are unbeaten: five games and two wins.
