Prediction: 2-1
Waalwijk
Willem II will be looking to take advantage of RKC Waalwijk's woeful start to the Eredivisie season when the two sides take on each other this weekend. RKC have lost all four of their opening matches, leaving them struggling at the foot of the table. Their defensive vulnerabilities and lack of cutting edge in attack have been glaring issues, and with influential forward Michael Kramer suspended, their problems are compounded.
In contrast, Willem II are a real force at home, making the Koning Willem II Stadion a tough place for any team to visit. Despite the absence of midfielder Dani Mathieu due to injury, Willem II have enough quality across the pitch to control the game. Their attacking unit is more than capable of breaking down RKC's leaky defence. With RKC low on confidence and missing a key player, a home win looks highly likely. Willem II's strong form in front of their fans should be enough to pick up all three points from the game.
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.
