A Sports Betting Pick by ArmchairPunter
Football : Netherlands : Eredivisie
Venue : De Adelaarshorst
Friday 8th April 2022, 1900hrs
Friday night brings us action from the Dutch top flight and this upcoming fixture between mid-table hosts, Go Ahead Eagles, and their struggling counterparts, Willem II, when the two teams face each other at the De Adelaarshorst ground.
Go Ahead had previously been struggling to find positive results in the Dutch Eredivisie as the hosts had endured a disappointing eight-match winless sequence in the domestic top flight which had threatened to see the hosts slide down the table.
However, Go Ahead have since staged a promising recovery in recent weeks as the hosts have lost just once in their subsequent six games overall and they’ll now be seeking a third win on the trot following wins against Cambuur and PEC Zwolle in their last two games.
Willem II find themselves perched just above the relegation play-off spot where they hold a slender one-point cushion over third from bottom side, Sparta Rotterdam, prior to this tough looking trip to Go Ahead on Friday evening.
However, it looks as though Willem II are in for a nervous ending to their Eredivisie campaign as the visitors have managed to collect just one win from their last 21 matches overall, and this poor run of form has contributed to the visitors now having to fight a relegation battle.
These 21 games include no fewer than 16 defeats overall, while form and results away from home have also been a catalyst to Willem II’s precarious position down near the foot of the Eredivisie table as the visitors have lost 10 out of their last 11 outings on their travels.
The Betting Verdict
Given Willem’s poor away form, the Go Ahead Eagles look set to at least avoid defeat here but they may even nick all three points.
