Willem II will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing start to the Eredivisie campaign when they welcome Nijmegen. The hosts suffered a heavy 4-1 defeat to Go Ahead Eagles on matchday one, but their overall form suggests they can respond quickly. Willem II had won seven of their previous 10 matches before that setback, while they have also scored in all of their last 10 games. Goalkeeper Thomas Didillon Hodl is doubtful after picking up a knock in the opening round.
Nijmegen, meanwhile, will be eager to make amends for their shock 2-1 home defeat to newly promoted Telstar. NEC are set to participate in European competitions, but their recent domestic form is worrying, with just two wins in their last 10 matches. Dusan Tadic will continue leading the line after producing a fine performance against Telstar, although Moslih, Ogawa, and Schuurs remain sidelined. Nijmegen have also conceded in eight of their last 10 games.
As both sides have been involved in plenty of goal-filled matches recently, we are tempted to bet on Both Teams to Score. Additionally, Over 2.5 and Over 3.5 goals markets seem appealing.
This Netherlands Eredivisie match will be played on Saturday 15 August 2026 at 15:30.
