Betting suggestion:

This is one of the most uneven matchups in this stage of the KNVB Beker, as Hercules, competing in a league equivalent to the fourth tier, will face Sparta, a team from the top division. Naturally, we expect the visitors to dominate, even if they don't field their strongest lineup due to the likely resting of key players with greater physical wear. Therefore, we'll back Sparta to win in both halves of the game.

Preview
The 2024/2025 KNVB Beker will commence for professional teams from the top two divisions, the Eredivisie and the Eerste Divisie, except for clubs representing the country in this season’s European competitions (Ajax, AZ Alkmaar, Feyenoord, Go Ahead Eagles, PSV, and Twente), who will join the cup later. The tournament rules stipulate single-leg matches with extra time and, if needed, penalty shootouts to decide the winner of each clash, who will progress to the next round.

Analysis Hercules

Hercules will play its third match in the 2024/2025 KNVB Beker as an amateur team competing in the Derde Divisie, which is equivalent to the fourth division. In the Cup opener, they defeated GOES 2-4 away from home and advanced to this round by drawing 2-2 at home with Excelsior Maassluis, before clinching a thrilling 3-2 win in extra time with a stoppage-time goal in the second half. This will be a prime opportunity for Hercules players to shine against a professional club, especially Bastmeijer, who has scored in each of the team’s matches in this KNVB Beker.

Confirmed Lineup: Pepijn Vonk, Pim ten Have, Shanon Carmelia, Mitchell Zwart, Valentijn Beck, Jules Stokkers, Younes Tufi, Nathan Bijl, Sel Bastmeijer, Tim Pieters, Dylan Chiazor.
Coach: R. van der Kooij.

Analysis Sparta

Sparta enters its 2024/2025 KNVB Beker debut with a rich history in the competition, having claimed the title three times in 1958, 1962, and 1966, along with runner-up finishes in 1971 and 1996. The Cup could offer Sparta a return to winning ways, as in the Eredivisie, the Dutch top-flight league, the team hasn’t secured a win in their last four matches, with two draws and two losses. In the most recent match, they lost 2-0 away to Heerenveen, following a 2-2 home draw with Almere. Sparta currently sits in 11th place in the Eredivisie with 11 points from 10 matches, recording 2 wins, 5 draws, and 3 losses, with 11 goals scored and 13 conceded. Away, they've won 2, drawn 1, and lost 2, with 6 goals scored and 7 conceded over 5 matches. The lineup, likely in a 4-2-3-1 formation, may see rotations, with even goalkeeper and captain Nick Olij, a standout player averaging 3.8 saves per match, potentially being rested.

Confirmed Lineup: Nick Olij, Rick Meissen, Djevencio van der Kust, Saïd Bakari, Marvin Young, Mohamed Nassoh, Julian Baas, Abemly Meto Silu, Tobias Lauritsen, Shunsuke Mito, Camiel Neghli.
Coach: H. Fraser.
