PSV vs Heracles Prediction & Betting Tips (16 February)

PSV is uncompromising in the league this season with a record of 59 points collected after 21 days, a maximum total of 64 points. The undisputed leader, we can also recall that PSV had a feast in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League by finishing second behind Arsenal, thus depriving Lens of a round of 16. Furthermore, in a few days, Luuk de Jong's teammates will challenge Borussia Dortmund at home for the first leg of the round of 16. Recently in the championship, Eindhoven crushed FC Volendam on the road 1-5 and is ten lengths ahead of its runner-up, Ajax.

Opposite, Heracles is far from occupying the top ranks of the championship and will be satisfied with the union minimum with maintenance. Indeed, the visitors occupy the 14th spot in the Eredivisie but are only four points ahead of the play-off zone occupied by Wallwijk in the early morning. Last weekend, Heracles had a nice reaction by beating Vitesse at home 3-2 after having endured three days without finding a win, including two defeats against Ajax at home 2-4 and on the pitch of Nijmegen 3-1.

Arriving last summer from Club Bruges, the Dutch crack, Noa Lang (4 goals in 11 appearances in the league) relapsed from an old injury and is doing better physically speaking. He will probably be kept by the medical staff like Bella-Kotchap (also injured). For the rest, the group will be complete with in particular the goleador, Luuk de Jong (18 goals, 8 assists in the league), the Moroccan midfielder, Saibari (5 goals, 4 assists), the Mexican winger, Lozano ( 5 pawns) or the Americans, Pepi (5 goals) and Tillman (5 goals, 3 cakes). Heracles could make the trip without certain players from the professional group such as the young German, Wehmeyer (6 appearances in the league this season) who remains injured like Cestic (also 6 apps), the crucial Roosken (2 assists this season in the elite) and Diego van Oorschot (rotation).

During the previous day, Sven Sonnenberg (central holder) left prematurely with an injury and is not sure he will be on the trip this evening. There is satisfaction on a personal level within this squad with in particular Hansson (5 goals, 5 assists), Engels (5 pawns, 2 pancakes) and the man in form, Hornkamp (5 goals, all scored since the start January including a double last weekend).
