A spot in the Eredivisie relegation playoffs final be at stake when Dordrecht and Willem II lock horns in a highly-anticipated double-header. Dordrecht set up a meeting with Willem II by beating De Graafschap in the two-legged tie and they will continue relying on their rock-solid defence in Wednesday’s clash. Both Jaden Slory and Daniel van Vianen are major doubts, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Tricolores, on the other hand, are desperate to secure the top flight survival. As Willem II are likely to adopt a cautious approach in the first leg, we believe that punters worldwide can find value in betting on under 2.5 goals. The likes of Mathieu, Sandra, and Sigurgeirsson are out of contention with injuries for the visiting side, while defender Jens Mathijsen is pushing for a recall to the starting eleven.
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.
