Willem II form and stats

Three Eredivisie home games done for Willem II, who are not happy collecting 3 points from these matches.

In their previous game, the manager A. Koster led his Willem II to a defeat in the Eredivisie match away at Heracles. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Sportpark Den Donk. Preceding that match was the home game against Feyenoord that was lost 0-1.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Willem II's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played two games, won 1 match, drawn 1 and lost 0.

Willem II aren't scoring a lot here at Sportpark Den Donk in the league, with only 2 goals from 3 games. On the other hand, Willem II have conceded 4 goals.

VVV-Venlo are travelling after their nice 2-1 home win in the Eredivisie against FC Groningen (placed 15th). Prior to that match, the VVV-Venlo manager faced defeat when travelling to ADO Den Haag and losing 0-1.
