Go Ahead Eagles will be eager to begin the new Eredivisie season on a positive note when they host Willem II at De Adelaarshorst. The hosts enjoyed an encouraging finish to preseason, recording convincing victories over OFI Crete (4-0) and Luton Town (1-0), showing plenty of attacking quality while keeping back-to-back clean sheets. However, Go Ahead have undergone significant squad changes, with Milan Smit, Jakob Breum, and Aske Adelgaard all departing the club. Their recent competitive statistics remain respectable, averaging 1.7 goals scored per game while keeping clean sheets in 50% of their last ten matches. They have also been particularly dangerous at home, scoring 2.6 goals per game across their previous five competitive fixtures.
Willem II, meanwhile, return to the Eredivisie in excellent spirits after an outstanding run of form. They have won eight of their last ten matches in all competitions and head into the new campaign on the back of preseason victories over Mechelen and OFI Crete. Summer signings Mats Lemmens and Hidde ter Avest are both expected to make their official debuts, adding further quality to an already well-balanced squad. Willem II have been especially impressive defensively, conceding just 0.6 goals per game over their last ten outings while keeping five clean sheets. With both teams arriving in strong form, a closely contested encounter should be on the cards.
As head-to-head meetings have generally been low-scoring affairs, we are tempted to place our bets on Under 2.5 goals, alongside Half-Time Draw and Draw.
This Netherlands Eredivisie match will be played on Saturday 8 August 2026 at 17:45.
