Now in the last chance saloon to avoid relegation, Willem II play host to Heracles at the Konig Willem II Stadion on Saturday.

The sides head into this one looking to return to winning ways having both failed to come out on top in their respective last outings.


Match preview

Heracles had to settle for a point in their meeting with FC Twente at the Erve Asito on Sunday which ended in a 1-1 stalemate.

Frank Wormuth's men took the lead through Noah Fadiga, but Gijs Smal netted on the cusp of half time to force a share of the spoils.

As a result, the Heraclieden are now just two points off the top half of the league standings while also opening up an eight-point cushion over the bottom three.

Coming up next is a trip to an opposing ground where the Almelo-based outfit have struggled of late, losing each of their last four games by a combined score of 13-1.

However, Saturday's hosts claimed a 3-2 victory in October's reverse fixture and now set out to complete a first league double over this weekend's opponents since the 2016-17 campaign.

Willem II were beaten for the 12th consecutive game on the road following a 4-2 defeat against PSV Eindhoven at the Philips Stadion on Sunday.

Kevin Hofland's men conceded first-half goals to Ritsu Doan, Cody Gakpo and Eran Zahavi but remained firmly in contention thanks to strikes from Che Nunnely and Elton Kabangu before a Wessel Dammers own goal right on the hour mark put the result beyond doubt.

Having picked up 26 points from 31 games this term, the Superkruiken remain rooted to the bottom of the Eredivisie table with just three games left to play.

Saturday's hosts are unbeaten in their last three home matches, picking up five of a possible nine points, and they will need to secure another impressive result in front of their fans with their top-flight status on the line.

Heracles' duo of Ismail Azzaoui and Kaj Sierhuis are both ruled out of Saturday's game through knee injuries.

Janis Blaswich is out of contention due to a muscle injury, as Orestis Kiomourtzoglou continues to nurse an ankle problem.

Willem II possible starting lineup:
Wellenreuther; Kohn, Dammers, Heerkens, Owusu; Saddiki, Llonch; Nunnely, Svensson, Kohlert; Hornkamp

Heracles possible starting lineup:

We say: Willem II 2-1 Heracles

Willem II have a good record in this fixture and will be hoping for history to repeat itself as they go in search of three points this weekend. We fancy the home side to prevail over their visitors at the sound of the final whistle.
