Preview
The KNVB Beker 2024/2025 reaches the semi-finals stage and maintains the same knockout format, with extra time in the event of a draw in normal time and, if necessary, a penalty shootout to determine the finalist. Heracles are aiming for their first major title and could reach the national cup final for the second time in their history (the first was in 2011/2012, when they lost to PSV). Meanwhile, AZ stand out as the fourth most successful club in KNVB Beker history and are seeking to reach their eighth final (having won in 1977/1978, 1980/1981, 1981/1982, and most recently in 2012/2013, alongside runner-up finishes in 2006/2007, 2016/2017, and 2017/2018). Heracles Almelo and AZ will face off at the Asito Stadium in Almelo, with Serdar Gözübüyük officiating the match and Pol van Boekel in charge of VAR.
Analysis Heracles

In general, Heracles present an unusual record of nine wins, nine draws, and nine losses across 27 matches, with 34 goals scored and 43 conceded. Manager Erwin Van de Looi is likely to field the same starting XI as in the previous match, maintaining the 4-2-3-1 formation, as there are no known absences.
