Heracles NEC betting prediction
 Heracles |
|  NEC |
Betting suggestion:
This will be another clash between clubs from the Eredivisie, the top tier of soccer in the Netherlands, at this stage of the KNVB Beker. Both teams will be looking for a chance to get back to winning ways, as Heracles have drawn 2 and lost 3 of their last 5 games, while NEC have drawn 1 and lost 3 of their last 4. We're backing Over 2.5 Goals because the average number of goals scored in Heracles' last 10 home games is 4.2. NEC's average in their last 10 away games is exactly 2.5 goals, but it's worth noting that they've won half of those games.

Preview
The KNVB Beker 2024/2025 is the moment when the top clubs in the Netherlands, those who have played or are playing in European cups this season, arrive for their National Cup debuts. The winning club will play five matches to win the title from here on in. All stages are played in single matches and only the grand final has a fixed address: the De Kuip Stadium in Rotterdam, which has hosted every final since 2011. In the event of a draw, the match will go to extra time and, if the score remains level, it will end in penalty kicks. Heracles and NEC will play at the Asito Stadion in Almelo and the main referee will be Allard Lindhout.
Analysis Heracles
Heracles Almelo had their best campaign in the history of the KNVB Beker 2024/2025 in 2011/2012, when they were runners-up in the competition. In the current edition, they managed a difficult qualification by beating Winterswijk, one of the smallest amateur teams in the Cup, 0-1 away from home. In the 2024/2025 Eredivisie they are in 15th place, the limit to avoid any possibility of relegation. In all, Heracles have played 17 matches this season, winning 4, drawing 5, losing 8, scoring 19 goals and conceding 33. Specifically at home, there have been 8 performances with 2 games won, 4 draws, 2 games lost, 13 goals scored and 13 goals conceded. Coach Erwin Van de Looi may change his starting line-up, based on a 4-2-3-1 tactical formation, but Belgian midfielder and captain Brian De Keersmaecker, who has scored 3 goals and 1 assist in 16 appearances this season, is expected to play.
Confirmed Lineup: Fabian De Keijzer, Lorenzo Milani, Damon Mirani, Ivan Mesik, M. Benita, Jan Zamburek, Brian De Keersmaecker, Shiloh ’t Zand, Luka Kulenović, Juho Talvitie, Suf Podgoreanu.
Coach: E. van de Looi.
Analysis NEC
NEC are the current runners-up in the KNVB Beker and have lost all five national cup finals in their history. In this edition, they had a very tough opening game, drawing 2-2 at home to PEC Zwolle, also from the Eredivisie, and only managed to qualify with goals that came in extra time, with the final score being 4-3 for the runners-up. In the 2024/2025 Eredivisie, NEC is in 12th place. They have played 17 matches this season with 6 wins, 2 draws, 9 defeats, 16 goals scored and 23 goals conceded. Specifically away from home, they have played 7 games with 2 wins and 5 defeats, as well as 6 goals scored and 10 conceded. Coach Rogier Meijer may change his previous starting line-up, based on a 4-2-3-1 tactical formation, but left-back Calvin Verdonk, considered to be the NEC's best player this season, is expected to feature.
Confirmed Lineup: Stijn van Gassel, Brayann Pereira, Iván Márquez, Calvin Verdonk, Lefteris Lyratzis, Kodai Sano, Mees Hoedemakers, Roberto González, Basar Onal, Vito van Crooy, Kento Shiogai.
