Willem II

LLLLLL 🆘

After a losing effort in their last game against Ajax in Eredivisie action, Willem II and their travelling fans will hope for a better result here.

It is worth noting that Willem II have failed to get amongst the goals over their last 6 games, contributing the poor return of only 4. In those fixtures, Tricolores have also seen the overall goal aggregate of opposing teams equal 15. Previous results aside, we’ll just have to find out if that trend might be sustained in this next game or not.

• are winless against Fortuna Sittard in games played away from home for the previous 2 league matches.
• are without an away win for the past 6 league games.

Onur Demir (Fitness), Daley Sinkgraven (Knee injury) and Alen Halilovic (Injury to the ankle) will not be able to play for Fortuna Sittard boss Danny Buijs.

It’s our opinion that Fortuna Sittard may well opt for a 4-2-3-1 system for this one featuring Mattijs Branderhorst, Ivo Pinto, Syb van Ottele, Rodrigo Guth, Mitchell Dijks, Loreintz Rosier, Ryan Fosso, Jasper Dahlhaus, Ezequiel Bullaude, Makan Aiko and Kaj Sierhuis.

From our viewpoint, Tricolores will likely make use of a 4-3-3 system by sending out Thomas Didillon, Jens Mathijsen, Tommy St. Jago, Erik Schouten, R. T. Sigurgeirsson, Jesse Bosch, Cisse Sandra, Amine Lachkar, Emilio Kehrer, Jeremy Bokila and Ringo Meerveld.

🧠 Prediction

In our view, Willem II are likely to put a goal past this Fortuna Sittard side, but it may not quite be as many as they’ll concede.

We are anticipating a narrow 2-1 winning score for Fortuna Sittard at the end of this one. Looking forward to seeing how this one unfolds.
