A Sports Betting Pick by Erik
Football: Netherlands, Eredivisie 2009/2010
Sunday, 13th September 2009 - Kickoff 12:30 CET
Willem II (16th) 1-0-4 5:7
Willem II suffered a 2-1 defeat on the road to AZ Alkmaar in the last round and the team dropped to the sixteenth place in the ranking picking up only three points from five games.
Things are starting to get a little worrying for the team after their fourth defeat in a row; especially given the fact two defeats were booked against possible end-of-season bottom dwellers Sparta Rotterdam and Heracles Almelo.
Willem II fell one goal behind early in the first half but a goal from Zijler (att) brought the visitors back into the game. However, AZ grabbed the lead again barely a minute later and efforts from Demouge (att) and Sheotahul (att) in the second half remained fruitless.
Feyenoord (2nd) 3-2-0 8:1
Feyenoord grabbed a deserved 1-1 draw at home to FC Twente in the dying seconds of the game thanks to an easy given penalty to the hosts.
Feyenoord had the best of the play in the first half and the team was very unlucky not to open the score with the FC Twente goalkeeper saving on efforts from De Guzman (mid) and Cissé (att) while Slory (att) saw his effort bounce back from the post.
In the second half FC Twente slightly grew stronger leading to the opening goal for the visitors twenty minutes from time. Feyenoord team manager Been replaced Vlaar (def) by Makaay (att) trying to force the deserved equalizer.
In the fourth minute of the stoppage time a falsely given free kick for Feyenoord was touched in the wall by an FC Twente player with referee Luinge giving a very easy penalty to the hosts.
Makaay (att) did not fail from eleven meters scoring his first goal of the season and the 250th goal of his career with Feyenoord occupying the second place in the ranking.
THe Betting Verdict
Feyenoord played a very good first half against FC Twente and if they can continue this line against Willem II a trashing is on the cards.
Willem II is one of the poorest teams in the Eredivisie at this moment losing their last four games in a row.
Feyenoord should be able to grab an easy win here at decent odds and I will take them as part of a double together with PSV.
BEST BETTING TIP :
Take Feyenoord to win in combo bets(perhaps with PSV Eindhoven ?)
