Heracles vs Twente Prediction & Betting tips
On Friday night the derby of the East is a great meal. FC Twente visits neighbor Heracles Almelo and can use the points more than good.
Heracles :
In Almelo one is working on a solid season. Trainer John Stegeman, together with his team, managed to rake 33 points and is in eleventh place. So the Heracmen arrived in the safe haven early this season. Since the club returned to the highest level in 2006, it no longer has to experience relegation or nacompetition, which is a great achievement.
Last weekend a new success was added to the current season. The first victory on foreign soil was achieved at Roda JC. The team from Kerkrade is in the middle of relegation worries and so a difficult match was expected. However, this turned out to be different. Even before half time, Heracles already had a lead of two goals. Even after the break, the Heracmen kept control of the game, resulting in a 0-3 victory.
Participating in the Play-Offs for European football seems too high and so the club from Almelo seems to be able to play out the season quietly. However, this will not mean that this game is seen as a practice match. Heracles Almelo was always seen as the smaller brother from the East and they will undoubtedly want to emphasize that the roles have been reversed this year.
Twente :
A bit further away the atmosphere is a lot less friendly. At FC Twente, the alarm signals are going off properly this season. The club from Enschede is in sixteenth place, where the gap with the safe fifteenth place is five points. In fact, the Tukkers have to keep a close eye on the Roda JC, as the Limburgers have only one point less than the club from Enschede.
Last weekend a kind of do or that game against FC Groningen was played. Where the Groningers can also use the points perfectly, prior to the match it was FC Twente in particular where the pressure was in full swing. The supporters chanted ‘everything or nothing’ from the minute and hoped fiercely for a victory against the scorching FC Groningen. The spectacle stayed out and after ninety minutes 1-1 was on the plates, especially the Groningers were satisfied.
With a point, FC Twente scored little. In fact, the end of the season is getting closer and the gap of five points is not just poem. The pressure on the so-called savior Gert-Jan Verbeek is increasing by the week. The grassroots reproaches the coach that he plays too defensively. Verbeek does not dare to play offensive football with this selection, but he is not grateful for that yet.
