Heracles Almelo will host Feyenoord at the Asito Stadium on Sunday in the 2025‑26 Eredivisie campaign. The home side has endured a poor start, sitting at the bottom of the table with just three points from eight matches. After securing their first win of the season against Sparta Rotterdam last month, Heracles fell 2‑1 to a 10‑man Twente side before the international break. Although Ivan Mesik gave them a one‑goal lead at halftime, they could not hold on as Twente came from behind to claim all three points in the second half.
Feyenoord, by contrast, has enjoyed a strong league start despite challenges on the continental stage. They beat Utrecht 3‑2 before the break, with goals from Ayase Ueda and captain Sem Steijn. Feyenoord now sit atop the table with 22 points from a possible 24, three points clear of second‑placed PSV Eindhoven.
The two clubs have met 51 times, with Heracles winning five, Feyenoord 35 and 11 draws. Feyenoord have won their last six meetings, posting an aggregate score of 22‑5, while Heracles’ most recent victory in the fixture dates back to February 2015. Defensively, Feyenoord lead the league, having conceded only six goals, whereas Heracles have allowed 20, the second‑most in the division.
Recent form further favors Feyenoord. Heracles have lost nine of their last ten Eredivisie games, a slump that stretches back to last season, and have struggled at home. Feyenoord are one of only two unbeaten teams this season, with seven wins and a draw from eight matches. Given the history of high‑scoring encounters, the match is expected to produce over 2.5 goals, and a 1‑3 victory for Feyenoord appears a plausible outcome.
