Utrecht vs Willem II Prediction & Preview
It’s a top-five clash in the Eredivisie as third-placed FC Utrecht welcome fifth-placed Willem II to the Stadion Galgenwaard. Both sides have enjoyed a cracking start to the season and will be keen to keep their momentum going.
Utrecht have been in fine form, winning three of their last five matches. They’ll be looking to bounce back after a narrow 1-0 defeat to Sparta Rotterdam in their previous outing. The home side has been particularly strong at the Galgenwaard, making them favourites for this encounter.
Willem II, meanwhile, have been the surprise package of the season so far. They’re coming off a convincing 3-0 victory against RKC Waalwijk and will be brimming with confidence. However, their away form has been a bit shaky, so they’ll need to be at their best to get a result in Utrecht.
Keep an eye on Utrecht’s attacking midfielder, who’s been pulling the strings in midfield and could be crucial in breaking down Willem II’s defence. For the visitors, their striker has been in red-hot form and will be looking to add to his tally.
Key Stats Utrecht vs Willem II
- Utrecht have won 12 of the last 18 meetings between these sides.
- Both teams have scored in 60% of the matches they’ve played this season.
- Utrecht have kept a clean sheet in 40% of their home games this campaign.
- Willem II have scored in 90% of their matches this season.
- The last encounter between these two ended in a 3-0 win for Willem II.
Main Prediction: Utrecht vs Willem II
Given Utrecht’s strong home record and Willem II’s inconsistent away form, I’m leaning towards a home win. However, Willem II have shown they can score against anyone. I’m going for a 2-1 victory for Utrecht in what should be an entertaining match. But with both teams in good nick, don’t be shocked if Willem II pull off a surprise.
