Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The stats suggest there's no obvious winner for this clash, but there's plenty of reasons to believe that Waalwijk and Heracles will find the net twice at least between them. Goals have flowed freely when they've gone head-to-head in years gone by, and neither Henk Fraser or Erwin van de Looi has served up too many 0-0s of late either. The bookmakers predict over 1.5 goals too, with top odds of 1.18 equating to about a 81% probability.
