Willem II vs Heracles Predictions

• Willem II have won 3 of their last 5 matches against Heracles.
• Willem II have won 5 games at home this season.
• Heracles have lost 4 away games in the Eredivisie.
• Heracles have lost all 3 league and cup games since returning from the winter break.

Willem II could move into 3rd place with a win

Willem II drew 0-0 at home with Zwolle last time out while Heracles lost a 5-goal thriller at home to Feyenoord 3-2, meaning the gap between the two clubs increased to 11pts. Willem II have picked up three wins from their last five matches against Heracles and have, so far this season, outplayed Heracles in departments.

The hosts have won five, drawn three, and only lost two of their ten home games in the league while Heracles have lost four, drawn four, and only won two of their ten away games this season, so you can see why we have backed a home win on Sunday. Willem II average 1.80 points per home game and have a 50% win ratio in their own backyard, while Heracles average just 1.00 points per away game which is below the league average.

Willem II score an average of 1.20 goals per home game and only concede an average of 0.70 goals, while Heracles only score an average of 0.90 goals per away game and concede 1.50 goals, and we have backed Willem II to claim a 2-0 win this weekend. Only 40% of the hosts’ home games have produced over 2.5 goals as have 30% of Heracles’ away games, so we are expecting a low-scoring ninety minutes between the pair.

Heracles are in the midst of a losing streak

Both teams have scored in 40% of Willem II’s home matches and the host shave only conceded 7-goals in their own backyard, keeping clean sheets 40% of the time. Heracles have failed to score in 40% of their away games, netting just 9-goals on the road so far this season, adding further weight to our prediction for a 2-0 home win this weekend.

Willem II have won-to-nil in 20% of their home games and Heracles have lost-to-nil on 30% of their away matches, with exactly 2-goals being scored in 50% of the visitors’ away games. A majority of Heracles’s defeats this season (6) have had a margin of 2 goals or more while Willem II have won via a 2-goal margin on four separate occasions.

We’re confident that Willem II will win on Sunday and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-0. The hosts head into the game as the form favourites and have been strong at home this season. Heracles are in the midst of a losing streak and simply haven’t found their feet since the start of the new year and we expect their poor run to continue on Sunday.
