Heracles Preview – Can Heracles pull themselves out of slump?
The hosts are seemingly stuck in a miserable rut prior to this Friday night encounter against Fortuna Sittard as Heracles have lost 4 of their last 5 matches in the Eredivisie, and this has left the home side in a mid-table position.
Results overall have produced mixed returns throughout the season for Heracles and they deservedly sit in 10th place but recent defeats to Utrecht, Emmen, Feyenoord and Willem II will have been particularly concerning for manager, Frank Wormuth, and players alike.
These spate of losses have also had an impact upon Heracles’s home record and although they’d previously put together an impressive 5-match winning streak with wins over Willem II, Emmen, PEC Zwolle, VVV and Den Haag, they’ve subsequently lost their last two home matches on the trot.
The last meeting between these two sides ended in a 1-1 draw and I daresay Heracles would take that result again right now!
Fortuna Sittard Preview – Can Sittard take advantage?
The big question is – can Fortuna Sittard take advantage and make the most of Heracles’s poor slump in form when they make their way over on Friday night on the back of a 2-1 home win against Heerenveen which helped lift the visitors up into 13th place and 3 points above the relegation play-off spot.
Recent results have been encouraging for Fortuna Sittard as they’ve suffered just the 1 defeat out of their last 5 matches overall, which was a 3-1 loss at home to 6th placed Vitesse, but otherwise they’ve picked up points on a regular basis over the past few weeks.
Wins against Waalwijk and Heerenveen (both at home) along with draws against Willem II and Sparta Rotterdam (both away) have helped Sittard keep themselves at arms length from the relegation zone for the time being.
An away record of 0-3-7 6/31 is poor though, and the visitors may well be happy to settle for a point here with their last two away matches also ending in stalemate.
