Match Time & Date:

16:30
Prediction: 2-1
Willem II
NEC Nijmegen will be looking to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Heerenveen when they take on Willem II on Saturday afternoon. Nijmegen are stuck in the middle of the table with little to play for in the season finale, but they will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways. Forward Vito van Crooij serves a one-game ban, while defender Ivan Marquez is pushing for a start after coming as a substitute in the last league match.
The Tricolores, on the other hand, are stuck in the relegation zone with only 24 points on their account. Given Willem II’s eight-game losing run in the Dutch top flight, we predict that NEC Nijmegen are going to pick up all three points from Saturday’s showdown. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team ahead of the trip to Nijmegen.
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.
