Heracles Almelo vs Groningen H2H Stats, Lineups and Live Stream

Preview

Heracles Almelo go head-to-head with Groningen in the Eredivisie of Netherlands on May 17. The match kicks off at 12:30 UTC.

As Heracles Almelo and Groningen prepare to meet again, the memory of Heracles Almelo's 4-0 win in their Eredivisie encounter from 8 months ago still lingers. Heracles Almelo's recent form has been disappointing, with consecutive defeats to Ajax and Heerenveen, marking nine games without a single win. Ahead of their clash with Groningen, they must first take on Telstar, Zwolle and Volendam in Eredivisie, fixtures that are likely to influence their form and fitness ahead of their clash with Groningen. Tightening up at the back might be their best chance to shift momentum, especially given the fact their inability to keep a clean sheet has been evident, as they have struggled to keep opponents from scoring, conceding in their last four matches.

Groningen come into this fixture having played out a draw against Go Ahead Eagles on April 11, keeping their unbeaten run alive at five matches. They have several key matches to navigate before facing Heracles Almelo though, including NEC, Excelsior and Feyenoord in Eredivisie, matches that could play a role in shaping their form and readiness for Heracles Almelo. Lately, their defensive efforts have been solid, with three consecutive clean sheets.

Heracles Almelo and Groningen meet in Eredivisie with their goal-scorers and playmakers ready to take on pivotal roles. Heracles Almelo’s top finisher Jizz Hornkamp and Luka Kulenovic have played important roles in ensuring their attack remains effective. Hornkamp has emerged as Heracles Almelo’s leading scorer in Eredivisie this season, netting ten goals, while Hrustic remains their top assist provider in the competition with six. Walid Ould-Chikh, Bryan Limbombe and Mario Engels have made their presence felt as well, chipping in with decisive contributions in attack.

Meanwhile, Groningen’s offensive unit has leaned on Thom Van Bergen, their main scorer, and Younes Taha, as they continue to drive the team’s attacking efforts forward. Van Bergen has already scored eight goals in Eredivisie this season, while Taha has been their leading creator in the competition with seven assists. Adding further support are Stije Resink, Brynjolfur Andersen Willumsson and Marco Rente, who have combined to deliver key goals and assists for the team.
