1.71Tip and bets
Heracles are not exactly the brightest stars, but they are traditionally strong and extremely aggressive in attack in home games – they have managed to score 11 goals in their last six home games. It is obvious that Sparta, with its problems in defense, will find it very difficult to keep a clean sheet against such an opponent, but at the same time, the Rotterdam team will definitely take risks, a defeat against one of their main competitors will significantly worsen the situation – an exchange of goals is almost inevitable.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. Betting Tip - both will score . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.61
Bet on the outcome
Heracles have looked more than decent in their last home games, having suffered only one defeat in their last eight home games. It is obvious that today the hosts will try to build on their success in an attempt to avoid falling into the transitional games zone and increase their lead over their main rival. Sparta has been in crisis for a long time, having won their last victory back in September last year, and it is unlikely that the Rotterdam team will be able to break this streak in a match against Heracles at home.
Bet - Asian handicap (0) on Heracles. This bet is offered for 1.91
Bet on corners
Heracles will probably spend a lot of time attacking at home, but Sparta is quite capable of responding, there should be a lot of corners.
