THE PREDICTION
Heracles’ last match was a 0-0 draw with Feyenoord which completed a three match run against sides playing in European competition. In that time they haven’t won. That 0-0 draw halted a slide of three consecutive defeats. There are six teams yet to reach double figures in terms of points and that has cut them slightly adrift of the sides above them. Of the five other sides in that group of six, Heracles have played Den Haag, Willem and VVV. Only one of those were at home and they beat Den Haag 2-0 in Almelo on the opening day of the season. They come up against the fourth of that group of five in Fortuna Sittard. Fortuna won their first game of the season last week against Willem in 3-2 win whereby they led 3-0 at half-time. That level of goal-scoring has been fairly consistent as they have notched 15 goals in 11 games; this is the second most in the bottom half of the table. Heracles, on the other hand, have the joint second lowest amount of goals averaging a goal per game in their opening 11. The gambler’s fallacy would suggest Fortuna are due a game another game in which they don’t score and a side such as Heracles, especially away from home, would support that view. Therefore, under 3.5 goals is a reasonable bet.
