FC Den Bosch got a 2-3 result versus Heracles in their previous game, a match to keep in mind. The next job is this fit Willem II side.
- FC Den Bosch have the most conceded goals (73) in Eerste Divisie
- Willem II have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
5-5-8 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Willem II when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those 18 matches are 26-30 (scored/conceded).
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
