The performance of Heracles Almelo is weak and in order not to run the risk of complicating his life in competition he will need to grow. The local team has to look for an evolution of all sectors, so that the team has more harmony. If this happens, the chances of achieving positive results will increase. Regarding this day, he has the favoritism, so, before the last classified, only adding the three points interests him.

After 5 draws and 10 defeats, the visiting team is currently in 18th position, with 5 points won. In their last match, they lost to Twente at home by (1‑4), after having lost in the previous match at home, in a match against Utrecht, by (2‑3).

The team allowed goals to the opponent in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition, so they were not very strong defensively. This is a team that rarely scores first: it only opened the scoring in 3 of its last 15 games for the Eredivisie, of these 3 it reached the half-time lead by 1 but never managed to maintain the advantage until the end of the 90 ‘ In 15 games in this tournament, he suffered the first goal 11 times and never managed to come back. In the last 8 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 5 of their 13 goals between minutes (16’ ‑ 30 ‘).
Emmen are having a very bad campaign in the Dutch championship and their place in the table shows just that. Their numbers are worrying, because all sectors have shown fragility, which ends up making the team easy prey for their rivals. There is no way to say that he has a real chance of getting a good result, as his football is not at all attractive. Therefore, to achieve something good in this match he will have to play football that has yet to be seen this season.
