Match Preview
NAC Breda hosts Heracles Almelo at the Rat Verlegh Stadion on Saturday, 20 September, in what promises to be an engaging Eredivisie clash. Both teams have shown inconsistent form recently, with NAC recording two wins and three losses in their last five matches, while Heracles has managed just one win in the same period. Historically, NAC has had the upper hand in this fixture, winning seven of the last ten encounters, which could provide them with a psychological edge. A key angle to consider is the goal-scoring potential of both sides. In their previous ten meetings, seven have seen over 2.5 goals, and both teams have scored in seven of those matches. With both teams struggling defensively at times, this trend could continue. NAC will look to exploit their home advantage, while Heracles will aim to bounce back from a shaky start to the season. Expect an open game with chances at both ends, making the prospect of goals likely.
