• VVV are unbeaten in their last 4 matches since returning from the winter break.
• Heracles have lost 4 of their last 5 matches in all competitions.

VVV haven’t lost since returning from the winter break

VVV picked up a point away at Heerenveen last weekend courtesy of a 1-1 draw while Heracles ended their losing streak with a 2-0 home win over Fortuna Sittard, meaning the gap between the two clubs was increased to 8pts. However, it’s the hosts VVV that head into Friday nights’ clash as the form favourites having picked up one win, four draws, and one defeat from their last six outings, with Heracles losing five and winning just one of their last six competitive and non-competitive matches.

Both teams have scored in three of the last four meetings between these two clubs and VVV have seen four of their last five matches ending in 1-1 draws, including their friendly against Kortrijk in January. VVV have picked up four wins and two draws from their eleven home games this season while Heracles have lost five, drawn four, and only won two of their eleven away games, so you can see why we have backed the hosts with a double chance bet.

VVV average 1.27 points per home game and Heracles average 0.91 points per away game, which suggests that the most likely result on Friday is a draw. The hosts score an average of 1.18 goals per home game and concede 1.91 goals while the visitors score an average of 0.82 goals per away game and concede 1.45 goals, and we have backed a final scoreline of 1-1 this Friday.

Heracles have only won twice on the road this season

Both teams have scored in 64% of VVV’s home games as well as 55% of Heracles away games, adding further weight to our prediction for a 1-1 draw. Only 27% of Heracles’ away games have produced over 2.5 goals so far this season and we can’t see any more than 2-goals being score in Friday’s clash.

VVV have only kept clean sheets in 9% of their home games while Heracles have managed to keep their opponents out in 9% of their away games, which is why we have ruled out a goalless draw on Friday. Exactly 2-goals have been scored in 27% of VVV’s home matches and a whopping 45% of Heracles’ away games, which ties in perfectly with our prediction for a final score of 1-1 on Friday.

We’re confident that a double chance bet on VVV is the best way to bet on Friday’s match and we have predicted a final scoreline of 1-1 between the two clubs. VVV have the home advantage and head into this game as the form favourites, drawing four of their last five matches 1-1, but Heracles have outperformed their hosts so far this season which is why we believe the most likely result is a 1-1 draw.
