Heracles Almelo, Recent FormHeracles Almelo will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 2-1 home win against NEC Nijmegen.
It's been a rewarding period in front of goal, with 14 goals scored in their last 6 matches; that said, boss John Lammers will be less happy with his defence, who have conceded 6 goals in the same period. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 19 games in a row.
They have been performing well at Erve Asito recently and are unbeaten in their last 10 home games.
Nikolai Laursen is the man of the moment right now and the toast of the fans, having notched up 6 goals in Heracles Almelo's last 6 league matches.
Excelsior, Recent FormLast time out for Excelsior resulted in a perhaps unsurprising 2-2 draw against Fortuna Sittard in a match they really wanted to win.
While they have been strong in attack with 13 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 10 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games.
They've had a poor run of form on the road recently, losing 3 of their last 6 away games and managing only 1 win.
On an individual basis, Nikolas Agrafiotis has scored in each of Excelsior's last league game.
It ended in disappointment and a 4-5 defeat for Heracles Almelo last time they met Excelsior in the league, with Roodzwarten defying the odds to take the win.
Heracles will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 7 encounters with Roodzwarten. We have seen plenty of goals from Heraclieden when they play at home against Excelsior. In their last 3 league matches they have scored a total of 10 goals, which is an average of 3.33 goals per game. When Excelsior are away to Heraclieden in the league, they know how to find the net, with 7 goals in their last 3 meetings and an average of 2.33 per game.
With only Jizz Hornkamp (Unknown) and Nikolai Laursen (Knee) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, John Lammers will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Marinus Dijkhuizen has a number of injury concerns in his Excelsior squad to contend with: Jacky Donkor (Knee), Adrian Fein (Illness), Troy Parrott (Groin) and Kik Pierie (Foot)
