Feyenoord vs Heracles Prediction & Betting tips
Feyenoord has to happen today. The Rotterdammers had two chances to become a national champion for the first time since 1999 and sprinkled the first opportunity to visit Excelsior. Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s team takes on Heracles Almelo today and the Almeloans also need another point to secure participation in the playoffs. Even so, Feyenoord is not present just like Excelsior today, and it is up to the Rotterdammers to make a successful party today.
Feyenoord :
Last season, Ajax had only one opportunity to become a champion, and the Amsterdamers did not finally succeed. There are two possibilities for Feyenoord this season and that first opportunity has passed since last week. The Rotterdammers went to Excelsior and all of Rotterdam was ready for a national party, but May 7th became a black day for all the inhabitants of Rotterdam. Feyenoord went on to visit Excelsior 3-0, and the “Feyenoord supporters” could not behave after the defeat and demolished everything that was loose and stuck in the city. The Kralingers won in full at Woudestein of Feyenoord and also Van Bronckhorst had seen that his team played badly in the first championship match. “The whole team did not sit in the game. It was not one, two or three players, but too much to attract a match or to bend, “said the Feyenoord coach who knew why Feyenoord played badly at Woudestein. “What’s up? The pressure. You notice everything that everyone wants to shout us forward, but we have to show it in the game. As long as that does not happen, you’re not a champion. ”
Of course Feyenoord still has it in its own hand and there is a chance that it will still be wrong for the Rotterdammers very small. The defeat against Excelsior was again the third of the last four matches in which Feyenoord left points and that will never happen in The Kuip. The Rotterdammers lost only two points in their own stadium this season and those points were lost against Ajax and Heerenveen. In addition Feyenoord picked up the full booty in its own Kuip in 2017, and everything indicates that the Rotterdammers should just be able to win this Heracles. From Bronckhorst, Friday announced at the press conference before Heracle’s match that De Kuip really makes a difference for his team. “In the Kuip we are strong. We have one more game to go, we have to win. The Legion will encourage us again for ninety minutes as they do every home match. With that support we feel strong, Sunday will be no different. ”
Like Excelsior, Heracles is still playing in the league. Ajax is lucky that Willem II is playing nothing more this weekend and with Go Ahead Eagles they played against an opponent of nothing at all this weekend – Feyenoord won 8-0 of the Deventenaren earlier this season. Feyenoord also lost a few days earlier with Ajax 2-1 and the Rotterdammers then excelled themselves by winning 8-0 from Robert Maaskant’s team. Against Heracles, Feyenoord will not be awarded the championship, but Van Bronckhorst thinks his team must just be able to win this Heracles. “We have not had gifts all year long, and it will not happen on Sunday either. The most important is how we get by ourselves. “, Said Van Bronckhorst who believes that Feyenoord can win everyone. “If we get into our strength, the opponent does not turn out.” The Feyenoord coach today can not afford Tonny Vilhena who, against Excelsior, unjustly caught his fifth yellow card of this season. The Feyenoord midfielder will normally be replaced by Dirk Kuijt who then moves forward, and Jens Toornstra will be in Vilhena’s place.
Probable setup of Feyenoord
Jones; Karsdorp, Botteghin, Van der Heijden, Kongolo; El Ahmadi, Toornstra, Kuijt; Elia, Jørgensen, Berghuis.
Heracles :
Heracles can still close this season well. The Almeloërs were able to smell at the start of this season at the forefront of the Europa League and would like to follow that next season. The Heracliedes won 4-0 of ADO The Hague last weekend and this victory came together by two goals of Reuven Niemeijer at the start of the match. Mark-Jan Fledderus made an injunction against ADO The Hague after eight months and against the Hagenezen, Jan Smit, chairman of the club, also said goodbye to the club. Against ADO The Hague, the Heracles so easily won and Heracles trainer John Stegeman was pleased with the performance of his team: “We were aggressive and footballers were very good.”
Since FC Groningen scored 1-1 against PSV, Heracles is still not sure of the playoffs and so Almeloërs still needs at least one point. In addition, the Heraclieden SC Heerenveen and FC Twente can still be on the list, but the main goal is of course to get the playoffs for European football. For Feyenoord there is of course a championship today and Stegeman realizes that Feyenoord’s interests may affect the Heracles selection. “This game is alive, you have to deal with it well. It’s a part of the professional footballer, “Stegeman said.
With 43 points from 33 games Heracles is doing very well this season. Stegeman has made the most of the selection over the last two seasons and a play-off place would be a bonus this season. Still, it will not be easy to get a result in De Kuip, and Stegeman realizes that everything has to be done today: “We are certainly not going to chance on Sunday, but we need to get a good house to get a result. That’s what we have to do. ”
Probable setup Heracles
Castro; Breukers, Wierik, Hoogma, Gosens; Niemeijer, Pelupessy, Bruns; Peterson, Armenteros, Kuwait.
