With just one loss in their last eight games in the Eredivisie, Heracles have been in solid form, even though they've only won three of those matches.

Nicolai Laursen and Sava Cestic are designated as questionable ahead of this game with minor injuries.
Predicted lineup: de Keijzer (GK), Wieckhoff, Mirani, Mesik, Rots, Scheperman, Keersmaecker, Talvitte, Bruns, Podgoreanu & Kulenovic

Player to watch: Luka Kulenovic
With eight goals in the league so far, 25-year-old forward is by far the best scorer in this Heracles team. Kulenovic has been in great form in the Eredivisie and he'll hope to continue that against Fortuna Sittard.
