Willem II Preview – Can Willem make most of home return?
Following recent defeats away from home at PSV 3-0 and a 4-2 loss at Emmen, Willem will no doubt be keen to return to more familiar surroundings on Friday night when they entertain Groningen at their Koning Willem II Stadion as the hosts look to extend their unbeaten run on home turf.
Both of the aforementioned losses were incurred away from home, but in their own backyard, Willem have made themselves a hard unit to beat in recent times as they’ve put together a decent looking 9-match unbeaten sequence amidst an overall home record of 6-4-2 14/8.
This solid run of results at home include wins against Venlo, Waalwijk, PSV, Sparta Rotterdam and Heracles, as well as keeping 5 clean sheets from their 12 home matches to date too. This has resulted in a relatively low number of goals throughout the season at home to date, and indeed, 8 of Willem’s 12 home matches have resulted in under 2.5 goals.
5 of the last 6 meetings between these two teams has resulted in under 2.5 goals too, so we could be destined for a low-scoring affair again on Friday night.
Groningen Preview – Can Groningen keep pace with top seven?
An improved run of results in recent times has seen Groningen suffer just 2 defeats out of their last 8 matches overall in the Dutch top flight which were losses to PEC Zwolle and Venlo, but otherwise, results overall have been fairly promising for the visitors.
Wins against Emmen, Ajax, Vitesse and Sparta Rotterdam should give Groningen plenty of encouragement ahead of their trip to Willem for this clash, although the visitors may well need this as they’ve registered just 1 away win from their last 5 outings on their travels.
An away record of 3-4-5 9/13 looks fairly ordinary and it looks best to avoid getting involved in the straight win markets where Groningen are concerned, but there’s still a decent betting angle for this clash as 8 of Groningen’s 12 away matches have also been under 2.5 goals.
