Prepare for blockbuster action at the bottom as last-placed Heracles host Excelsior in Matchday 28 of the Eredivisie. With the travelling Kralingers just eight points off with 24 points still to play for, they're just as locked in the relation battle as The Heracleans. Here's our Heracles vs Excelsior match prediction.

Heracles arrived on the back of a 4-0 thrashing of AZ Alkmaar on Sunday, which extended their winless run to six games in a row. And that slump constituted five defeats. The Heracleans last tasted victory against Fortuna over a month ago, but did it in this stadium. Coach Ernest Faber will be looking to bag another rare home win, after taking four of his five victories at home.

Interestingly, Heracles’ only away victory this season was on the road to Excelsior, who could give them the chance for a season-defining double. This comes just as The Kralingers themselves face their worst spell of the season after losing five straight games, with Feyenoord’s 2-1 win capping that poor run.

For Excelsior, the losing streak must end here, as only two points separate them from the relegation playoffs and just three points from outright relegation zone. Will Heracles do the double, or is Excelsior’s five-game losing streak ending here? See key stats below.

Our Heracles vs Excelsior Prediction

Both teams come in with only the goal of winning all three points in this game. Heracles are bound to be relegated unless they pull off a miracle in the remaining eight games. They did it to win their only away game this season against this very Excelsior.

The Kralingers, meanwhile, are just three points away from the red zone, and have a high chance of falling in if The Heracleans take all three points and Telstar or NAC Breda win their weekend games. Hence, our Heracles vs Excelsior prediction is BTTS.
