- Venue: Erve Asito
Heracles will be looking to register their first home win of the 2024-25 campaign in the Eredivisie when they play host to Heerenveen on Friday evening.
Following their promotion from the Eerste Divisie at the end of the 2022-23 season, Heracles were favourites to be relegated from the top flight last term but they managed to avoid the drop. Erwin van de Looi's side finished four points clear of the bottom three and will be looking to at least maintain their top flight status this term. The hosts have picked up as many points (6) as games played (6), but worrying is the fact that only two of those points have come at home.
Heerenveen meanwhile have taken two wins from their six games so far. The visitors didn't enjoy the best of starts to the new campaign, picking up just one point from their opening two games but with six points from their last four, they'll fancy themselves of a win on Thursday night.
Heracles vs Heerenveen Betting Tips: Draw & under 2.5 goals
Given how poor Heracles have been at home in recent months, a win for the hosts this week will be a surprise. The Poupers failed to win any of their last six games at Erve Asito and failed to score in four of those encounters. Bets on under 2.5 goals were won in four of those matches.
Heerenveen have not had anything to celebrate on their travels this season. The visitors lost all their three away games this season and only managed to find the back of the net once. Two of those games ended with under 2.5 goals.
- Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

Heerenveen team news
Heerenveen boss Robin van Persie isn’t expected to make wholesale changes to the side that was on the pitch from kick-off in the win over Groningen last weekend.
Having scored his third goal of the campaign in that encounter, Ion Nicolaescu will retain his responsibilities of leading the line and could be supported in the final third by Jacob Trenskow and Ilias Sebaoui.
