Heracles vs PSV Eindhoven Prediction
Heracles have made a decent start on their return to the top-flight but have their work cut out if they are to get anything from this game. They were disappointing in their defeat to a third division side in the Cup and their chances here are slim.
PSV are the early pacesetters in the Eredivisie title race and Peter Bosz's side do not look likely to relent in their quest anytime soon. The manner in which they dismantled Ajax was indicative of their credentials and, despite the capital side's struggles, PSV still deserve credit for their comeback.
We are backing the Eindhoven outfit to claim a comfortable win in a high-scoring game.
Prediction: Heracles 1-4 PSV
