Having ended a run of three consecutive Eredivisie defeats last time out, Heracles play host to FC Volendam at the Erve Asito on Saturday.
Meanwhile, the away side make the journey to Almelo aiming to get themselves back on track having lost five of their last six league matches.
Match preview
Heracles claimed a much-needed 2-1 victory over RKC Waalwijk when the teams went head-to-head at the Mandemakers Stadion on Saturday evening.
John Lammers's men opened the scoring through Emil Hansson but conceded a 53rd-minute leveller to Michiel Kramer, after which Mario Engels grabbed the winner just shy of the hour mark.
Consequently, the Heraclieden have moved up to 14th place in the Eredivisie table, four points clear of the relegation zone midway through the campaign.
On the horizon next is the challenge of an opposing outfit who have managed just one victory from the most recent 11 editions of this fixture.
Currently on a run of three straight home defeats without scoring, Saturday's hosts have work to do at both ends of the pitch to avoid another disappointing showing in front of their fans.
Volendam were denied back to back wins for the first time since July as they fell to a 1-0 defeat against newly-promoted Almere City at the Kras Stadion on Sunday.
Regillio Simons's men conceded an early strike to Thomas Robinet and that turned out to be the all-important moment in a game where clear-cut chances were few and far between.
With 11 points amassed from 17 matches this term, Het Andere Oranje remain rooted to the bottom of the standings, six points away from safety.
Off the back of two away wins on the bounce leading up to this weekend's contest, Saturday's visitors now set out to continue their recent upturn in form away from home.
Team News
Joey Antonioli is ruled out for Volendam, having not featured since late October due to a knee problem which he picked up in a 1-0 win over Utrecht.
Twenty-four-year-old Koen Blommestijn also misses out for the visitors through injury but is drawing closer to making his return to action.
Forward Diego van Oorschot is a guaranteed absentee for Heracles as he continues to face an extended spell on the sidelines with a broken leg.
Swedish midfielder Emil Hansson put on a man-of-the-match display for the home side last time out and will be looking to deliver the goods once again.
Heracles possible starting lineup:
Brouwer; Willems, Hoogma, Sonnenberg, Bultman, Wieckhoff; Hansson, De Keersmaecker, Vejinovic, Engels; Sankoh
FC Volendam possible starting lineup:
Backhaus; Mbuyamba, Benamar, Mirani; Buur, De Haan, Twigt, Booth, Cox; Ould-Chikh, Muhren
We say: Heracles 2-1 FC Volendam
Volendam have been defensively suspect all-season long and Heracles will be looking to capitalise on their visitors' frailties at the back. We are tipping the home side to get the job done come the sound of the full-time whistle.
