Head-to-Head
Feyenoord have won their last four Eredivisie head-to-head meetings with Heracles Almelo (W4) and many expect that run to continue, according to the Heracles Almelo vs Feyenoord Rotterdam prediction.
Key Players
- Jizz Hornkamp has three goals in six Eredivisie games for Heracles this term, and he remains their main attacking outlet, while Yvandro Borges Sanches has scored two goals in Heracles’s last five.
- Ayase Ueda has eight goals in eight Eredivisie appearances for the Rotterdam club this season and has four of their last six in all competitions, so he looks a good bet for a goal on Sunday.
Betting Insights
- Over 2.5 goals, priced at 1.45, is the favored score option for this match, as both sides have scored above that average in recent games.
- Feyenoord’s away goal average of 2.5 goals in 2025/26 and the fact they are in better form should ensure the 1.38 favorites get the job done on the day.
Prediction
- Feyenoord thrashed Heracles 4-1 when these sides last met five months ago in the league and should win with ease on Sunday.
- The clash of possession-based dominance against transition-based pragmatism should keep this interesting for long periods, but the difference in quality and depth should eventually tell.
