Prediction

  • In-form Heracles is looking to extend their unbeaten streak to five straight Eredivisie games when they travel to face NAC Breda at Rat Verlegh Stadion on Friday.
  • NAC Breda currently sits in ninth place with 25 points, having scored 25 goals and conceded 35. With 14 matches remaining, they are level on points with eighth-placed Fortuna Sittard as they vie for a spot in the UEFA Conference League Play-offs. In their last Eredivisie match, NAC suffered a 3-2 defeat against PSV at Philips Stadion.
  • Heracles, on the other hand, played to a 1-1 draw against Groningen at Asito Stadion in their last league match, which extended their unbeaten streak to four games. They currently occupy 15th place with 20 points, just three points clear of the relegation zone with 14 matches left.
  • In their previous encounter in Eredivisie action, Heracles won 2-0 against NAC Breda at Asito Stadion in November, with Brian De Keersmaecker scoring both goals in the 39th and 63rd minutes. Heracles has had the upper hand against NAC in recent years, winning four consecutive meetings since April 2019, during which they have outscored NAC 11 goals to 1.
  • In the 2024/2025 season, NAC Breda has been led by striker Elías Már Ómarsson, who has scored six goals, including two critical match-opening goals. Luka Kulenovic has been the primary attacking threat for Heracles, netting seven goals, five of which were the first of the match.
  • At home, NAC Breda has recorded six wins and four losses this season in 10 Eredivisie matches at Rat Verlegh Stadion. Conversely, Heracles has had a difficult time on the road, with two wins, one draw, and six losses in their league matches away from home this season.
