Prediction
We’re inclined to think that FC Dordrecht have the capability to put one past this Willem II lineup, although it is unlikely to be as many as the goals that they could concede.
Our selection here is for a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 winning margin for Willem II after 90 minutes. Could easily see this go either way.
