Heracles Almelo vs Feyenoord Prediction and Betting Tips

Heracles Almelo will host Feyenoord at the Asito Stadium on Sunday in another round of the 2025-26 Eredivisie campaign. The home side have endured a poor start to their season and look set for yet another bottom-half league finish as they sit rock-bottom in the table with just three points from eight matches.

After picking up their first win of the campaign against Sparta Rotterdam last month, Heraclieden were beaten 2-1 by 10-man Twente just before the international break. They took a one-goal lead into the break following Ivan Mesik's opening strike before their opponents came from behind to snatch all three points in the second half.

Feyenoord, meanwhile, have enjoyed a bright start to their league season, although they have had difficult results on the continental stage. They faced Utrecht just before the break and won the end-to-end clash 3-2 via goals from Ayase Ueda and team captain Sem Steijn.

The visitors sit atop the table with 22 points from an obtainable 24. They are three points above champions PSV Eindhoven in second-place and will be looking to widen that gap on Sunday.
