With 25 points from 31 played matches, Willem II will probably miss direct relegation to Eerste Divisie but will likely have to secure the next season in the strongest Dutch competition through the playoff. Willem II are in a terrible form. They were in a run of eight straight losses until last weekend when Willem II played 1-1 on the road against NEC Nijmegen. The guests were fortunate to avoid defeat in that one as they finished the match with only xG of 0.56, while the home side had 2.83.
Heracles have another solid season. They are a mid-table team with still some chances to catch the Conference League playoff. However, Heracles' form is far from ideal, with only one victory in the last four matches. In the previous game, they lost 4-1 at home against Feyenoord. The guests were significantly better, so it is no wonder that they suffered another defeat. Heracles will have to show much better performance in the rest of the season to even have a chance to get in position to fight for the Conference League.
Willem II vs Heracles pick: Both teams to score - yes
Willem II allowed at least one goal in each of the last 16 matches. On the other hand, Heracles allowed eight goals in the previous two games. We should expect goals on both sides on Friday night at Koning Willem II Stadion in Tilburg.

Heracles team news
Heracles have some missing players, too. Sem Scheperman got a red card in the previous game and will not play on Friday in Tilburg. Sava Cestic, Justin Hoogma, and Nicolai Laursen will not play in the upcoming match, either. The good news for Heracles is that Thomas Bruns and Jizz Hornkamp could return after they served their suspensions.
