Insights:
  • PEC Zwolle have the most scored goals (17) in Eerste Divisie
  • Willem II have yet to win a game away.

3-3-7 (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 13 matches are 14-21 (scored/conceded).

This should be an absorbing game with lots of action and bustle as both squads are well revitalized since they last saw competitive action. Let's go!
