PSV form and stats

PSV, who have the fewest conceded goals (25) in Eredivisie, have been very solid at home so far, with 46 points collected from 16 matches (15-1-0). This has contributed greatly to their 2nd position in the league table. After failing to beat Feyenoord here at Philips Stadion, PSV has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with four wins in a row.

In their previous game, the manager M. van Bommel led his PSV to a defeat in the Eredivisie match away at AZ. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Philips Stadion. Before that match, a win away at Willem II.

PSV always seem capable of creating a buzz here at Philips Stadion with 55 goals in 16 games. As for guarding their own goal, PSV have only let in 6 goals at home.

Heracles form and stats

There's been little loot from Heracles's travels as they have only collected 15 points from 16 away games. Heracles only have 4 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 3 draws. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Heracles have lost on their last two travels.

Heracles failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Excelsior that ended with defeat 4-5. A 1-2 defeat away at AZ before that.

As mentioned above, the bookmakers do not believe the away team will get anything from this match. Checking Heracles's match history for similar games we find two matches. The home team won 2 of these as expected, 0 of them by at least two goals. Heracles managed 0 draws and 0 surprise wins.

Heracles find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 18 goals from 16 away fixtures. For Heracles, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
