Match Preview
A team in mid-table limbo pits their wits against the Eredivisie title favourites in our Heracles Almelo vs PSV Eindhoven preview today and with the home team in less than ideal shape heading into the game, the odds look stacked against them. The home team can climb as many as three places if they can somehow eke out an unlikely victory, though they will need to perform way above the usual level to take the points.

It’s now just one win in seven for the home team coming into today’s Heracles Almelo vs PSV Eindhoven betting tips. The Heraclieden are not to be dismissed, however – when they play in front of their own fans at the Polman Stadion, they are a tough nut to crack. They have lost just one of their nine league matches there since the season started, though, in contrast, their away results are the worst in the Eredivisie from a statistical standpoint. They are one of only two teams yet to record a victory on their travels in 2017/18.
PSV Eindhoven have only tasted defeat once in their last eighteen matches and though that loss was a harrowing 0-3 defeat to traditional rivals Ajax, the Boeren still hold a healthy five-point gap at the summit of the table ahead of their rivals from Amsterdam. Phillip Cocu’s men have lost just twice in all in the league since August and they tend to do well against Heracles Almelo. It might surprise you to learn that they have lost just once to them since their first meeting in 2005.
Heracles Almelo vs PSV Eindhoven Prediction and Betting Advice
The away team under scrutiny in our Heracles Almelo vs PSV Eindhoven bets usually enjoy themselves when they make the trip to the Polman Stadion. They have only lost once there in thirteen historical visits and they have won on both their most recent trips there. They have beaten Heracles in four of their last five meetings with them overall.
The Heraclieden had a poor time of it just before the league’s winter break. Winning just once in six matches is not the best way to close the first part of a league campaign and they couldn’t have picked a tougher opponent to face to re-open their Eredivisie season. To make matters worse, John Stegeman’s defence haven’t kept a clean sheet in any of their last nine.
With their backline so worryingly porous, they last thing they will want to face is the second highest scoring team in the Eredivisie. Eindhoven are averaging almost three goals per game in the Dutch top division this term. The league leaders should have too much quality for their hosts and you can back them to win at Sunbets, who we chose to provide today’s Eredivise football odds. The value they offer cannot be beaten.
Mexican winger Hirving Lozano is enjoying something of a breakout season in 2017/18. The 22-year-old scored a total of ten goals in the league last season for the Boeren, but the jinking wide man has already netted eleven times this term. Coming into our Heracles Almelo vs PSV Eindhoven predictions, Lozano is the joint top scorer in the Eredivisie alongside Feyenoord’s Steven Berghuis.
Lozano scored in his last two appearances before the winter break. He found a route to goal against Vitesse in PSV’s 2-1 win at home and in their 4-1 victory in the same venue against VVV. Lozano opened the scoring for his team in their last meeting with Heracles on October 22nd too.
It’s interesting to note that five of his eleven strikes this season have been the first goal of the game. With the Mexican international in such brilliant individual form, including him in our Dutch football betting guide was an easy decision, especially given the fabulous odds available at 888Sport.com for him to score anytime during the ninety minutes.
