Heracles

Current form
Before the start of the Eredivisie season, Heracles was considered one of the candidates for relegation, being inferior to many competitors in terms of player selection.

We managed to break away from the zone of transitional matches by only one point, so the whole struggle to maintain registration in the elite is still ahead. Having drawn 1-1 with Breda in the last round, Heracles extended the unbeaten streak in all tournaments to seven matches.
