Go Ahead Eagles vs Heracles: match statistics
Go Ahead Eagles are clear favorites to win this match. The hosts show solid home form with 27% wins and only 18% losses at their own stadium, and their goal difference in home matches is positive (+1). Heracles is in a dramatic away situation – 83% losses, no clean sheets, and a catastrophic goal difference (-22) in away matches. The visitors cannot attack effectively away from home (0.92 goals on average, 42% of matches without scoring a goal), which, given the decent efficiency of the hosts (1.55 goals on average at home), gives Go Ahead Eagles a clear advantage. The recent form of both teams (0.4 vs 0.6 PPG) does not change the fact that Heracles is extremely weak in away matches, which is confirmed by a series of defeats in recent away games.
