We said: Heracles 2-1 Groningen

While Groningen are ahead of this opponent by two points in the league standings, they have one of the worst away records in the division this season and failed to score a single goal in their last four matches on the road. Heracles, on the other hand, are unbeaten in three at home and ran Ajax to the wire in a seven-goal thriller before that. We feel the hosts will get the result in this one. Read more.
