Welcome to this exciting Eredivisie match-up between FC Groningen and Heracles Almelo! Looking at FC Groningen, they've got a rock in goal with Etienne Vaessen posting a respectable 6.40 rating on the back of 8 saves this season. However, our man between the sticks for Heracles Almelo, Fabian De Keijzer, boasts a 7.43 rating indicating his clear edge in goalkeeping. Expect him to make some impressive saves.

On the attack, our eyes are on Jizz Hornkamp, and no, I'm not making that name up. Bursting onto the scene with a 7.57 rating, 3 goals, and 3 shots on goal--he's been a key figure for Heracles Almelo. And let's not forget Sem Scheperman, who's been a pass maestro, keeping a tidy 83.8% accurately flying to his teammates.

But it's not all doom and gloom at the other end of the field. Groningen's Stije Resink and Mats Seuntjens have been making the net bulge, both bringing a goal to their name. They'll certainly be shaking up Almelo's defense.

The history gods would have us believe this is anyone's game, the last engagement having been a 1-1 tie. In terms of recent form, Heracles Almelo has remained mostly unbeaten, with 3 wins and 2 draws in their recent 5 matches. Groningen, on the other hand, struts in having won just 1 of their last 5 matches. Obviously, past performances do not guarantee future returns, but Almelo has been the more solid of the two outfits recently.

Albert's Prediction: Heracles Almelo by 2
