Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Willem II will aim to build on their impressive 2-1 victory over AZ Alkmaar when they host NAC Breda at the Koning Willem II Stadion. The Tricolores have been producing fine displays in recent weeks and will be keen to take advantage of their opponents’ poor form to climb further up the table. While Amar Fatah and Valentino Vermeulen are sidelined with injuries, the hosts boast enough depth to extend their winning run.
NAC Breda, on the other hand, do not seem to be at their sharpest, having lost their last three matches in all competitions. Defensive struggles and a lack of cutting edge in attack have plagued their performances, and their injury woes continue with Cherrion Valerius still unavailable. Given their superior recent form and home advantage, Willem II are expected to dominate Sunday's game. Taking everything into account, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed.
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.
