We said: Willem II 1-1 Heracles

This is a crucial match for Willem's hopes of ending the season outside the bottom three, but they are in a very poor run of form, currently winless since the start of the year and riding a five-match losing streak at home. Heracles are entering this match following back-to-back 4-1 defeats, and they are without a victory in their last six away games. There was nothing to split these two sides in their last two encounters, and we feel they will end up sharing the spoils in this one as well. Read more.
