Heracles and PSV match-goers have their most treasured supporter clothes on for this first game week of a new Eredivisie campaign. Let's go!

PSV could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Champions League game only four sleeps ago. That game, against Midtjylland, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for PSV.

PSV play their home fixtures on grass, while this game will take place on artifical turf. Recent results for PSV when featuring on artifical turf are 9 wins, 4 draws and 0 defeats from 13 matches. They have scored 34 goals and conceded 12 times in these fixtures.
