Editor's Prediction
PSV remain in the title race and are likely to hit the pitch highly motivated. However, Heracles Almelo have shown they can challenge even top-tier opponents, covering a +3.5 spread in 27 of their last 28 games. Furthermore, in nine consecutive head-to-heads at PSV's ground, the visitors have also stayed within this margin. Given such resilience, backing Heracles Almelo to win with a +3.5 handicap appears to be a well-founded prediction.No comments
