Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Almere City will be aiming to make amends for back-to-back losses to Twente and Zwolle when they face Willem II in the Eredivisie round 8. Almere are eager to record their first win of the process and, one thing is for sure, they are going to leave their hearts on the field. Hedwiges Maduro should have a full squad to choose from and you should bear in mind that Almere’s display in the defeat to Zwolle was anything but poor.
Les Tricolores, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, losing to both Utrecht and PSV in the last two league matches and given the importance of Friday’s game for the hosts, we predict that the visitors are going to return to Tilburg with their hands empty. The likes of Dani Mathieu, Erik Schouten, and Niels van Berkel have been struggling with injuries of late, speaking of the visiting team.
Highlighted Team (Willem II):
Based in Tilburg, Netherlands, Willem II is a professional football club that competes in the Eredivisie. The Tricolores were founded back in August 1896 under the name of Tilburgia, but the club’s first big success came in the 1915/16 season when they won the national championship.
Willem II repeated the success in the 1951/52 Eredivisie campaign, with the team winning their third domestic trophy three years later. When it comes to KNVB Cup, the Tricolores have won it on two occasions (1943/44, 1962/63). Willem II are well known for their white shirts with red and blue strips, while their away kit is mainly mint with dark navy accents.
The Tricolores play home matches at Koning Willem II Stadion, the venue with the capacity of 14,700 spectators. Willem II have fierce rivals in Nac Breda, as the cities of Breda and Tilburg are only 20 kilometers apart. Former Barcelona and Arsenal star Marc Overmars is one of the most notable footballers who played for the club.
