Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-0
Nijmegen
Willem II and NEC Nijmegen square off against each other at Koning Willem II Stadion in what is expected to be a close encounter. The Tricolores aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Zwolle and they are surely capable of matching Nijmegen in front of home fans. Bearing any fresh injury worries, Peter Maes is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated Zwolle at the weekend.
The visitors, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team failing to win the previous five league matches. As NEC suffered a massive 5-0 loss to Go Ahead Eagles in their last away game, we are tempted to place our bets on Willem II. Phillipe Sandler is a major doubt after limping off with injury in a 1-1 draw with Sparta Rotterdam, with Lefteris Lyratzis being ready to step up.
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.
