SC Heracles Almelo
The Heraclieden are looking to secure a tremendous achievement. They have never played European football in their history and it seems the outfit from Almelo have a good chance to pick a spot to play in the UEFA Europa League play-offs next season.
The Heraclieden are currently placed eighth in the league table, two points ahead of the ninth placed http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Utrecht-c39237. With only three points left to play for in the season, the outfit from Almelo need a solitary point to secure their Europe’s secondary club
competition berth.

15 games at home. They have an overall record of 33 played, 13 won, 7 drawn and 13 lost.
Bosz would be looking to retain his side’s good form at the home turf by securing all three points in the upcoming encounter.

of 33 played, 16 won, 6 drawn and 11 lost.

Players to watch
Willy Overtoom – Heracles Almelo
The 24-year-old striker will lead the attack pack for the outfit from Almelo in the absence of Everton Ramos da Silva, who will sit out with a suspension. Overtoom has scored 13 goals in 33 appearances for his side this season while also providing useful
assists. He will be the key player in his side’s bid to bag a point or more.
Dmitry Bulykin – ADO Den Haag
The 31-year-old is in exceptional goal scoring form this season. The on-loan striker from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/RSC-Anderlecht-c40394 has scored 21 goals in 29 appearances and aiming to become the Eredivisie top goal scorer of the season.

the in-form striker from finding the back of the net.
