Helmond Sport and Heracles Almelo have met many times, and almost every time it was Heracles who came away with the win. This time the picture looks different, because Heracles are putting together a strong run in the league, while Helmond Sport are still struggling to find their footing in the table. Helmond Sport have just lost 2 in a row, and an attack that used to score has started to dry up, alongside a defence that still concedes regularly. Heracles Almelo, meanwhile, have won 4 of their last 5 and closed it out with a 2-0 win, the image of a team that controls the game and keeps the opposition out. This game should play out with Heracles holding the ball and pushing high, while Helmond Sport drop back to defend and wait for the counter. If the hosts hold out until half-time, the game could drag on, but if Heracles get an early lead, the second half should become one-way pressure.
