Heracles preview: Still not clear of danger but in solid form
After five matches in a row without a loss in the league, even though only one of those games was a win, Heracles have managed to create some separation between them and the first team in the relegation zone since they're now seven points ahead. However, they are also just one point ahead of Sparta, who are in a spot that leads to relegation playoffs.
When it comes to team news, Heracles remain without injured Nikolai Laursen, Sava-Arangel Cestic, Stijn Bultman, and Mario Engels.
