LLLLDL ⚠

Willem II will be looking to improve on their last outing here after a 2-1 Eredivisie defeat last time out to VVV-Venlo.

The only scorer from Willem II was Jan-Arie van der Heijden (15'). Giorgos Giakoumakis (79', 90') was the scorer for VVV-Venlo.

Tricolores have been finding it hard to keep clean sheets of late, although they have also managed to hit the back of the net themselves. Over their last 6 matches, Tricolores have conceded in 6 of them while also getting on the scoresheet in 5 of those games.

Going into this one, Willem II have not won at home in their last 2 league games.
