Feyenoord
- A classic Eredivisie matchup between two clubs with contrasting philosophies takes place on Sunday, with Feyenoord Rotterdam’s high-tempo, high-pressing possession football pitting against Heracles Almelo’s compact, pragmatic and counter-attacking approach.
- Feyenoord boss Robin van Persie has instilled a dynamic philosophy at the club since being named head coach in February 2025, which has seen his team rotate attackers in fluid, interchangeable positions, press relentlessly to recover the ball and flood the box in numbers to finish chances.
- Feyenoord have scored 25 goals in 10 Eredivisie home games this season.
- But they have lost their way slightly in recent weeks, taking 0 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats from their last 5 Eredivisie games, most recently being stunned 3-4 at home by Sparta Rotterdam last time out.
Heracles
- Heracles are winless in 2 games away from home and have picked up 1 win, 1 draw and 8 losses from 10 Eredivisie games on the road this season, scoring just 8 times.
- Heracles will sit deep against Feyenoord and hope to frustrate their opponents before exposing the hosts on the counter.
- The visitors have lost 4 consecutive games and have won just 1 of their last 5 across all competitions.
Head-to-Head
Feyenoord have won the last 5 head-to-head matchups , including a 7-0 win away from home just 3 months ago .
Key Players
Ajdin Hrustic has been a bright spark for Heracles lately, scoring 2 of their last 6 goals , while top scorer Luka Kulenovic has found the net 4 times in 18 Eredivisie appearances this term.
Betting Insights
- Feyenoord are at very short odds of 1.24 in the betting for this game, with Heracles coming in at a huge 9.6 and the draw at 6.25.
- However, as Feyenoord have only taken 1 point from their last 3 home games, and Heracles have recently found some goals, there is a slim chance the visitors can catch a surprise here if they can withstand the early storm.
- With the home team so short, the Over 2.5 goals market at 1.3 looks a much better option.
Prediction
Feyenoord still have an incredible head-to-head record against Heracles however and with the title the prize, they should have more than enough quality to take the points at De Kuip.
