Heracles Almelo come into this match following a defeat to Utrecht on August 10, looking to bounce back with a stronger performance. Strengthening their defense will be critical to turning their fortunes around, since their defensive frailties have been apparent as they have struggled to keep opponents from scoring, conceding in their last twelve matches.

This Eredivisie match offers a platform for Heracles Almelo and NEC’s goal-scorers to step up and leave their mark on the contest. Heracles Almelo’s Sem Scheperman have played important roles in ensuring their attack, carefully orchestrated by Bas Sibum, remains effective.

Meanwhile, NEC’s offensive unit, under Dick Schreuder’s guidance, has leaned on Tjaronn Chery and Koki Ogawa, their main scorer, as they continue to drive the team’s attacking efforts forward. In Eredivisie, Ogawa has been NEC’s standout scorer with two goals, while Chery has been their leading creator in the competition with two assists. Supporting them are Brian Linssen, Basar Onal and Dirk Proper, who have also chipped in with important goals and assists, adding depth to NEC’s attack.
