There’s also action from the Dutch top flight on Saturday evening when Willem II take on Twente at their Koning Willem II Stadion with the hosts searching for a way to escape their current disastrous sequence of results in the Eredivisie.
Willem II have failed to win any of their last 123 matches overall in the Dutch top flight and this includes losing each of their last nine games on the trot which has unsurprisingly resulted in the hosts perching just above the relegation play-off spot.
Willem currently possess a four-point cushion above third from bottom club, Sparta Rotterdam, but nine defeats on the trot suggest that Willem may well be caught sooner rather than later if this current form persists.
In addition, the hosts have also lost their last four home games on the trot, suffering defeats to Sparta Rotterdam, Go Ahead Eagles, Cambuur and NEC and Willem have managed just 1 goal in these last four games too.
Twente currently occupy 6th place in the Eredivisie standings and the visitors will be incentivised by the fact that all three points in Saturday’s trip to face Willem II could see them move as high as 4th spot if other results go their way.
Following back-to-back defeats to NEC and PSV back in October, Twente have since rallied and haven’t looked back as the visitors have produced a string of encouraging results which has seen them put together an eight-match unbeaten run.
Six wins within these last eight games will give Twente plenty of confidence ahead of this weekend’s action while the bigger picture shows that Twente have lost just twice in their last 16 matches overall.
The Betting Verdict
Twente have lost just one of their last eight games away from home and the visitors look the more likely for victory here as well.
The Pick :
Willem II 0-1 Twente
