Heracles Almelo will host PSV Eindhoven at Erve Asito on Sunday in the second round of the 2024-25 Eredivisie campaign. The home side struggled for results during the off-season and have now begun the new season in similar fashion.
They faced Sparta Rotterdam in their Eredivisie opener last time out, playing out a goalless draw against De Kasteelheren and could have no real complaints about the result after failing to create any noteworthy chances to get on the scoresheet. The hosts now sit mid-table in 10th place with one point and will be looking to pick up their first win of the season this weekend.
PSV Eindhoven enjoyed a memorable campaign last season and performed fairly well during the off-season as they prepared for their title defense. They marked their return to competitive action with defeat, losing on penalties to Feyenoord in the Dutch Super Cup earlier in the month.
The visitors, however, bounced back from that in style, thrashing Waalwijk 5-1 at the Philips Stadion with four different players getting on the scoresheet including Hirving Lozano who came off the bench to score a quickfire double.

Heracles Almelo vs PSV Eindhoven Prediction
Heracles are on a six-game winless streak in the Eredivisie, failing to score any goals in five of those games. They are without a win or a goal in their last three home league games and could struggle here.
PSV are undefeated in their last eight league games, picking up seven wins in that period. They have been near-untouchable in this fixture historically and should win Sunday's game fairly easily.
Prediction: Heracles Almelo 0-3 PSV Eindhoven
