The duel between Heracles and Excelsior is a duel between two teams from the right list. The Heraclieden started in 2017 with three defeats in a row, but now have the thread picked up again. Excelsior did himself before the winter still to worry about relegation, but now feels the hot breath of teams like Go Ahead Eagles, Sparta and Roda JC in the neck.
Heracles
After the convincing victory of Heracles two weeks ago at Willem II (1-3) was last weekend’s game against another low flyer on the program. In its own Polman Stadium took Almeloërs on a foreign legion called Roda JC. The Kerkrade Egyptians were after seventy minutes on a 0-2 lead, but Samuel Armenteros won in the last eleven minutes another point for Heracles. Armenteros was therefore with two goals very important for the Almeloërs and it was remarkable that the striker played the whole match. “It had to come from my toes today. I was ill and felt that in the game, “said Armenteros. The coach of Armenteros, John Stegeman, has not thought to get his top scorer early to the side: “Your club’s top scorer gives you not be so quick to the side. I loved playing him a great match, but he scored twice. ”
Heracles last season qualified for the Europa League, but this season seems placement for at-a-second most important club tournament in Europe impossible for Almeloërs. Yet chairman Jan Smit confidently move away from Heracles at the end of this season, because when Heracles in the top of the right row ends Heraclieden have done just fine. The Heraclieden are now in tenth place with 25 points and climb to victory even briefly over FC Groningen – tomorrow comes into action – go.
Probable lineup Heracles
Castro; Droste, to Wierik, Hoogma, Gosens; van Ooijen, Pelupessy, Bruns; Kuwas, Armenteros, Peterson.
Excelsior
At Excelsior is now really up to five to twelve. The Kralingers started the first half of the season well, but now interfere in the relegation battle. Excelsior played last weekend with a 1-1 draw against FC Twente. In its own stadium Kralingers came after fifteen minutes the lead through a goal by Nigel Hasselbaink, but Fredrik Jensen down in the 35th minute of the final score already at 1-1. Unlike FC Twente they were last Sunday at Excelsior happy with the point that took the locals. “We can live with a draw, although we had hoped for more. Yet we must be realistic, “so cherished Excelsior coach Mitchell van der Gaag seventh draw of Excelsior this season.
Yet Excelsior least’ll have to get four points in the next two games (against Heracles and Willem II) if it is to leave the lower regions. The Kralingers have after Roda JC won the fewest games and you can at the end of this season, sometimes going to cost the head. The Rotterdam gasp recent months anyway to victory. Van der Gaag saw his team this season triumph four times, but the last win dates back party on November 19 when 3-1 was won by Sparta. Against Heracles and Willem II should Van der Gaag yet to win at least one game, because weeks later we have to AZ (off), Heerenveen (home) and Ajax (home) three tough matches on the program for the locals.
Probable lineup Excelsior
Hahn; Karami, Mattheij, Massop, Kuipers; Koolwijk, Bruins, Faik; Ondaan, Hasselbaink, Fredy.
