Key Jong AZ vs Heracles Predictions from Punditfeed

In this article, we’ll provide our well-researched Jong AZ vs Heracles predictions for this week in the Eerste Divisie.

Heracles to win

Jong AZ Alkmaar have struggled to find their footing in recent weeks. Maarten Martens’ men have no wins in their last three matches, with a draw and two losses. In contrast, Heracles Almelo have been by far the best team in the Eerste Divisie this season; they are leading the standings ahead of this trip, and are five points ahead of second-placed Zwolle.

Furthermore, the visitors have been unstoppable lately, especially in the league. They have won five consecutive league games, scoring over three goals per game on average in that stretch. Bearing that in mind, we are fairly confident that Heracles will take all three points from this match.

Both teams to find the net

Despite their recent struggles, Jong AZ have consistently scored goals over the course of their season. The hosts found the back of the net in all of their last five matches. On the other hand, Jong AZ have not been able to keep the goals out; as they’ve seen their defense breached seven times in their last five matches.

We would like to point out that both teams were on the score sheet in four of Jong AZ’s last five games; and considering Heracles have scored in 15 consecutive matches across all competitions, we should expect goals at both ends.

Over 3.5 total goals

We’ve already established that Heracles found the net in 15 straight games; it’s also fair to point out that they’ve been the highest-scoring side in the Eerste Divisie. Heracles have scored 55 goals in 18 league matches, 14 more than any other team.

As a matter of fact, they bagged 19 goals in their last four league matches alone. Because of the way they score goals, Heracles have been involved in a lot of high-scoring games; and that’s why we believe there will be at least four goals in this match.

Jong AZ vs Heracles: squad news and match preview

Jong AZ

Jong AZ are coming off a disappointing 3:2 loss to Jong PSV; they are now without a win in their last three matches. As it stands, Maarten Martens’ men are eighth on the Eerste Divisie table. They’ll hope to get back to winning ways as they host league leaders Heracles tonight.

Heracles Almelo

Heracles humiliated Dordrecht in their previous match; as they registered four goals in each half, in a comfortable 8:1 win. John Lammers’ men have won five in a row, in the Eerste Divisie. They’ll look to extend that streak to six games as they make the trip to the Sportcomplex Kalverhoek.
