Heracles narrowly avoided relegation last season, finishing 14th, just four points ahead of relegated Excelsior. The hosts will be looking to avoid a grueling battle for survival this season, although that will be difficult.
In the last friendly matches before the start of the championship, Heracles lost to Excelsior and Groningen, so expectations for the first round were not the highest. Nevertheless, they managed to get a point away from home against Sparta (0:0).

2.80Tip and bets
We believe that the current champion will be able to cope with such an opponent as Heracles. In the first match, the club from Eindhoven showed the power of its attack and it is unlikely that the hosts will be able to stop PSV. Four of the last five face-to-face matches were won by the visitors and we do not think that today we can expect a different result.
Our betting tip is Asian handicap (-2) on PSV for 1.65
Bet on total
The hosts will probably rely on defense, because this is their only chance for success. It is unlikely that they will be able to keep a clean sheet, but Heracles can easily avoid a rout. In the last two head-to-head meetings, two goals were scored, we think that this result will not be beaten now.
Our prediction is total under three goals with odds of 3.45
Bet on corners
The opponents will fight only for victory, so it will definitely not be boring here. High totals will be broken by many indicators and corners are unlikely to be an exception.
Our prediction is total over 9.5 corners with odds of 1.54
