Willem II form and stats

Seven points from three Eerste Divisie home games is a great start for Willem II, who are hoping to build on that form here at Koning Willem II Stadion. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Willem II after consecutive victories at their own ground.

The Willem II manager Hofland and his pawns return home after a 2-2 draw away versus PEC Zwolle (placed 1st). Opportunity lost for Willem in the PEC Zwolle match as a lead 2-0 was lost and what looked like a victory ended in a draw. Midfield player Svensson got a match rating of 7.64 in that game, the max score being 10. Svensson scored one goal.

Ahead of that match, Willem II won a home game hosting ADO Den Haag (1-0).

Willem are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 3 games. From these home matches, Willem II have conceded only 2 goals.
