A victory to the home team is predicted from this game if the league table is to be trusted. The Willem II regulars are confident that the difference between 5th and FC Den Bosch's 17th position in the table will be revealed on the pitch.

Insights:
  • Willem II have the most points from losing position (9) in Eerste Divisie
  • Willem II have scored at least twice as many goals at home as FC Den Bosch have scored away.

2-3-8 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for FC Den Bosch when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 13 matches are 15-26 (scored/conceded).

This looks to be an absorbing fixture with lots of spark and energy as both squads are well revitalized since they last ran out on the pitch. Game on!
