In the match of the 10th round of the Dutch championship, Zwolle will host Heracles. Will the hosts be able to win the first victory?
"Zwolle"
"Zwolle" needs cardinal permutations, as after nine games it has only one point and closes the standings. The same score was scored in the confrontation with Sparta (1-1), and in the other matches there were defeats, the total score of which was 2-16. Already, the gap from the safe zone is equal to six points, and if we take into account that Zwolle is in terrible condition, then the handicap is serious.
"Heracles"
"Heracles" takes the 12th place and strives to climb into the top seven, lagging behind the seventh position by five points. Potentially, the gap can be reduced to two points, since Heracles has played eight matches, and most clubs have played nine. In the three previous rounds, Heracles scored six points, losing 2-4 to Go Ehead Eagles and coping with Waalwijk (1-0) and Willem II (3-2).
Injuries and disqualifications:
- Disqualifications:

Forecast
I propose to bet that both teams will score. Some need to win the first victory and get closer to the safe zone, while others need to move away from the relegation zone.
