Match preview

Hercules host EVV in the first preliminary round of the KNVB Beker, with both sides looking to turn around a difficult stretch of early-season form. Both defences have struggled considerably in recent weeks, leaving plenty of room for an open, attack-minded cup tie.

Hercules enter this fixture having conceded twelve goals across their last three matches, including a 5-3 defeat against Harkemase Boys and a 4-0 loss to SC Genemuiden. Despite those defensive issues, they showed signs of attacking life in their five-goal thriller at Harkemase Boys.

EVV have been involved in remarkably high-scoring encounters throughout August, having conceded 22 goals in their last five fixtures. However, they have also found the back of the net in each of those games, including a 3-2 defeat to Dongen and a 4-1 loss against UNA. With both backlines allowing frequent chances, this cup fixture points toward another goal-heavy outcome.
