Heracles Almelo vs Almere City prediction: Both sides chasing first win
Key Stats
- Both teams scored in two of Heracles’ and Almere City’s last two matches in the Eredivisie.

Correct score prediction: Heracles Almelo 1-1 Almere City
Heracles and Almere City are both winless after four matches of the new Eredivisie season, and it makes little sense to back either side to win on Sunday. Instead, a second score draw in a row between the teams is a more palatable pick.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Heracles Almelo listed as underdogs
- HOME: 6/5 (2.20) – 45.5%
- DRAW: 5/2 (3.50) – 28.6%
- AWAY: 11/5 (3.20) – 31.3%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Heracles Almelo shared the spoils in two of their first four matches of the new campaign in the Netherlands and a draw looks the likeliest outcome again at a price of 5/2 when they host fellow strugglers Almere City on Sunday.

Heracles Almelo preview: Several players doubtful
Diego van Oorschot, Jan Zamburek, Jizz Hornkamp, Stijn Bultman, Sava Cestic and Nikolai Laursen are all in a race to prove their fitness ahead of Sunday's game. Heracles limped to a 3-0 reverse at Zwolle just before the international break.

Player to watch – Thomas Robinet
French attacker Thomas Robinet was a star performer for Almere City last season, netting an impressive ten goals during a productive Eredivisie campaign.
Can Robinet score against Heracles again?
One of Robinet’s ten goals last season was plundered when Almere City last visited the Asito Stadion to play Heracles in March and the 28-year-old will be aiming to make a similar impact on his return to that venue on Sunday.
