Heracles vs PSV Eindhoven Prediction

Heracles began the season brightly with their 2-0 victory over ADO Den Haag but came crashing back to earth with a 4-0 defeat to Willem II, and they could be on the end of another whitewash against PSV.

The visitors needed a last-gasp goal from Max Romero to see off FC Emmen last time out but will be buoyed by their convincing victory away in the Europa League.

They are unlikely to have too many problems against a side that they have defeated by an aggregate score of 14-2 in their last five games.

Prediction: Heracles 1-4 PSV Eindhoven
