Vitesse and Heracles meet at Gelredome, Arnhem on Friday, May 14 at 8:00 PM with both clubs firmly in the mix for the European places in the Eerste Divisie. Just 3 points separate them in the standings.

Vitesse come into this fixture in good form (3W 0D 2L recently). Heracles, meanwhile, arrive in red-hot form (4W from last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Vitesse won their last outing, while Heracles suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.

History strongly favours Vitesse here — they've won 6 of 10 previous meetings against Heracles, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Vitesse won 2–3.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Vitesse a slight edge, but Heracles are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
