Prediction: 2-1
Sittard
Willem II and Fortuna Sittard take on each other at Koning Willem II Stadion in what is expected to be a close Eredivisie encounter. The Tricolores defeated Almere City before the international break and, as a result, the odds for home win have been dropping. Sweden U21 international Amar Ahmed Fatah should be recalled to the starting XI after scoring the winner against Almere, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Sittard, meanwhile, did well to beat AZ Alkmaar at home on Matchday 8, but given their difficulties on the road in the new Eredivisie campaign, home win should definitely be considered. There are no new injury concerns in the away team, but all Kristoffer Peterson, Alessio da Cruz, and Kaj Sierhuis remain doubtful. In their last meeting in the national championship Fortuna Sittard defeated Willem II 1-0, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
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.
