There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Eredivisie table so far. Here's the Feyenoord - Heracles latest:

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Heracles have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 4-6-19 (win-draw-loss) from 29 matches.
