Heracles vs NAC Breda

Heracles started great their first opening match last week and took the lead with 0:2 away from home against RKC Waalwijk, but after stupid penalty and red card at 86', and late goal in 89', they managed to took only point. I expect them strong motivated for first 3 points this season at home in front of their crowd.

 

Heracles finished 8th last season, but looking at their home record, they were the 5th best team in Holland with 11-4-2 record here and 39:17 goal diff. Heracles managed to keep their regular squad and improved it a bit during the summer.

 

NAC played at home against Twente in the first round, and lost 0:1. They played poor and couldnt managed to create big troubles to the Dutch Cup holders. They finished 13th last season, having the 5th worst defence in the league with 60 goals conceded. They got big problems on the road with 3-3-11 and 17:39 goal diff. They took some players from lower division and on loan, and I cant see their squad improved for sure.

 

Heracles is strong home side and is playing comfortable against NAC last years as they got 6 wins in their last 7 matches played here. In 5 of these 6 wins, Heracles is winning with more than 1 goal difference and I expect similar outcome today.
