Heracles Almelo vs NEC H2H Stats, Lineups and Live Stream

Preview

On May 18, Heracles Almelo are hosting NEC in the Eredivisie of Netherlands. The match kicks off at 12:30 UTC.

As Heracles Almelo and NEC prepare to meet again, the memory of Heracles Almelo's 1-0 win in their National Cup match from 5 months ago still lingers. Heracles Almelo's most recent match yesterday resulted in a defeat to PSV, and they'll be keen to make amends here. Addressing their defensive shortcomings will be a priority for progress, since their backline has lacked consistency, conceding goals in their last four matches in a row.

NEC, in contrast to their opponent's recent struggles, enter the match on a positive note, having secured two victories in a row against NAC and Ajax in their last two outings.

In this Eredivisie showdown, the spotlight will fall on the players who have been pivotal for Heracles Almelo and NEC throughout the campaign. Heracles Almelo’s leading scorer Luka Kulenovic and Jizz Hornkamp have played significant roles in the team’s attack, carefully orchestrated by Erwin Van de Looi, each providing decisive moments in their offensive play. Kulenovic leads Heracles Almelo’s scoring charts in Eredivisie this season with nine goals, while Podgoreanu remains their top assist provider in the competition with five. Heracles Almelo’s attacking depth is further showcased by Brian De Keersmaecker, Mario Engels and Thomas Bruns, who have each made valuable contributions this season.

Meanwhile, NEC’s offensive unit, with Rogier Meijer steering the side, has leaned on Vito van Crooij, their main scorer, and Sontje Hansen, as they continue to drive the team’s attacking efforts forward. With nine goals in Eredivisie, van Crooij is NEC’s top scorer in the league, and is also the team’s top assist provider, with five key passes leading to goals so far this term. NEC have also relied on Koki Ogawa, Sami Ouaissa and Thomas Ouwejan to energize their attack through key shots and passes.
