Prediction

  • Hosts AZ currently sit in sixth place with 20 points after 13 matches. They won their last Eredivisie match 2-1 at Sparta-Stadion Het Kasteel against Sparta Rotterdam, ending a six-match winless streak.
  • Heracles, on the other hand, drew 2-2 with RKC Waalwijk at Asito Stadion in their last league match, leaving them in 13th place with 13 points. In the most recent Eredivisie meeting between the two clubs, Heracles emerged victorious with a commanding 5-0 win at Asito Stadion last season. Brian De Keersmaecker opened the scoring for Heracles in the 19th minute, followed by Jizz Hornkamp and Mohamed Sankoh, who each contributed two goals.
  • Troy Parrott has been a standout player for AZ this season, leading the club with seven goals, which ranks third among the league's top scorers for the 2024/2025 season. Notably, three of his goals have been the critical first of the match. For visitors Heracles, Luka Kulenovic has also made an impact, scoring five goals, including three match-opening strikes.
  • At home this season, AZ has recorded two wins, one draw, and three losses in six Eredivisie matches. They are currently on a four-match home winless streak, with no wins, one draw, and three losses since their last victory against Utrecht on September 29.
  • Meanwhile, Heracles is looking to improve their away form, having achieved one win, one draw, and four losses in their league away games. They are searching to break a three-match away losing streak, with their last away point coming on September 21 against NEC.
