Feyenoord vs Heracles: match statistics
Feyenoord is the decisive favorite for this meeting. The hosts occupy 2nd place in the table and boast an impressive home record with 60% wins and an average of 2.5 goals per match. Heracles finds itself in last place (18th) with disastrous away form—80% losses, just 10% wins, and a lack of any clean sheets. Particularly worrying for the visitors is the disparity in offensive quality: Feyenoord averages 7.2 shots on target per home match, while Heracles manages just 2.8 on the road. Additionally, xG confirms the hosts' advantage (2.14 vs 1.02), and the goal difference in Heracles' away matches stands at a staggering -17. The form of both teams in the last five matches also speaks for Feyenoord, even if it hasn't been ideal for the hosts.
