After four games we know a little more about the qualities of Heracles and RKC Waalwijk in this fresh Eredivisie season. Read our match preview!
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Heracles form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Heracles's two home games in the Eredivisie so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Stadion Ergilio Hato.
Heracles faced defeat in their previous match, away at Vitesse (0-3). Before that, Heracles drew at home versus PSV.
Early season league goal statistics from Heracles's 2 home games: 3 goals, 1 conceded.
RKC Waalwijk form and stats
No Eredivisie points yet away for RKC Waalwijk, from their first 2 matches. Recent form does not give Waalwijk much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Heracles will be a tough nut to crack. Waalwijk seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Waalwijk play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-3 to FC Utrecht (placed 8th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Ajax wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.
1 goal so far away for RKC Waalwijk, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 6. All from 2 league matches away.
Head 2 Head
As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's seven Heracles victories, two draws and one RKC Waalwijk win. Over/under statistics; six of these games ended with three goals or more, four matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
