Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-1
Heracles
Following a 3-1 win over Willem II, Zwolle will be looking to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they take on Heracles on Matchday 19. The Blauwingers did well to put an end to their three-game winless run in the Eredivisie, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence. Zwolle, though, are not regarded as good hosts, and you should bear in mind that they are eyeing their only third home win of the season.
Heracles, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Heerenveen. The Black and Whites are eager to move a little closer to the Europa League berth, but beating Zwolle on the road is easier said than done. A close encounter is on the cards, and we believe that punters can find value in betting on draw. Serbia international Tedic remains sidelined with injury for the hosts, while defender Bakboord is out of contention for the visitors.
