Your Web 3 Guru and Moonbet presenting todays match: Feyenoord Rotterdam – Heracles Almelo
The remainder of the season is crucial for Feyenoord as they aim to secure silverware. Sunday, April 21st, holds significant importance for the Rotterdammers as they face NEC in the cup final at their own Kuip stadium. This match carries substantial weight in terms of adding trophies to their collection. Additionally, there is a crucial battle with FC Twente for the direct Champions League spot, with Feyenoord holding a six-point lead before the current weekend.
Feyenoord’s draw against PSV last weekend was both a relief and a disappointment. While PSV is on course for the championship, Feyenoord boldly took the lead midway through the top-tier clash, briefly hinting at a remarkable comeback. However, it’s unlikely to materialize further. PSV has dropped six points in 25 matches. They would need to lose at least ten more in the remaining nine matches, which seems unrealistic.
Heracles Almelo
On the other hand, opponent Heracles Almelo faces different challenges in this late Sunday match. Since their hard-fought 3-2 home victory against Vitesse, Erwin van de Looi’s team seems to have hit a rough patch. Narrow defeats away to PSV (2-0) and FC Utrecht (1-0) were followed by a disappointing draw at home against direct rival Almere City FC: 2-2.
The Almelo-based team managed to come back from a 2-0 deficit, showcasing their fighting spirit. They were also somewhat aided by a red card for their opponents from Flevoland. Heracles currently sits with 23 points from 24 matches on the overall Eredivisie table. Five points clear of the relegation zone before the weekend’s fixtures. Additionally, their goal difference is lower compared to the competition around the 16th spot.
Hot Stats
Players to watch: Santiago Gimenez seems to be back in form for Feyenoord after a winter slump, as evidenced by his goal against the league leaders in Eindhoven.
