Heracles Almelo, Recent FormThe Heracles Almelo squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 3-1 away defeat against PEC Zwolle, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. During that encounter they had 48% possession and had 10 attempts on goal with 4 on target, while their opponents hit 6 of their 22 shots on goal.
It seems pretty certain that Erwin van de Looi will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 10 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 7 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 28 of their 31 games overall.
In terms of results, it's been a bit of a mixed bag for Heracles recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Jizz Hornkamp will be looking to get on the scoresheet again at Erve Asito having scored 7 goals in Heracles Almelo's last 6 home games in the league.
RKC Waalwijk, Recent FormRKC Waalwijk will have been reasonably pleased with their 2-2 draw against FC Utrecht, not least because of the valuable point gained. They achieved 38% possession in that match and had 9 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against FC Utrecht's tally of 11 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 8, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 10 goals and some valuable points in the process. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but playing away from home, they have conceded a goal in 14 of their 15 games this season.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 9 games.
David Min will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for RKC Waalwijk.
RKC Waalwijk suffered the disappointment of a 1-2 defeat at the hands of Heracles Almelo the last time they met in the league.
Playing away from home, RKC have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Heracles.
Heracles manager Erwin van de Looi has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Stijn Bultman (Unknown), Sava-Arangel Čestić (Broken ankle), Emil Hansson (Unknown), Nikolai Laursen (Knee), Sven Sonnenberg (Unknown) and Jannes Wieckhoff (Unknown) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Nouri El Harmazi (Shoulder) and Aaron Meijers (Hamstring) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Henk Fraser will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
