Heracles vs Emmen Predictions

Heracles suffered a 2-0 defeat away at in-form AZ last weekend but have been generally  in good form themselves of late, while Emmen followed up an impressive draw against Feyenoord with all three points at home to Den Haag last time out.

All of the stats point towards a win for Heracles on Saturday with both teams to score and we’ve backed a final scoreline of 3-1.

Heracles are unbeaten in their last three matches against Emmen and have won four of the pairs’ last six encounters, competitive and non-competitive, while four of the duos’ last six meetings have seen both teams score, so you can see why we’re backing a home win and BTTS this weekend.

The form of both teams heading into Saturday’s clash adds weight to our prediction of a home win, as Heracles have won four of their last six matches in all competitions and Emmen have lost three of their last five Eredivisie games. The visitors have also lost all of their three away games so far this season, but have scored in their last two on the road.

The performances of both clubs during the last month or so back our final score prediction for Saturday’s match, as Heracles have scored three or more team goals in three of their last five matches and Emmen have scored in all of their last six matches. Both teams scored in four of Heracles’ and four of Emmen’s last six matches, which is why we’ve backed a final score of 3-1 in favour of the hosts this weekend.

We’re confident that Heracles will win and both teams will score on Saturday and have predicted a final scoreline of 3-1. The hosts are the form favourites and have been scoring plenty of goals of late but, with just one clean sheet in their last six attempts, are likely to concede on Saturday. Emmen have shown improved performances of late but have lost all of their away games and clearly feel more comfortable in their own backyard.
