Willem II

Excelsior have started the campaign in positive form with two victories from three matches, scoring seven goals and posting a goal difference of plus four. Their away form has been sharp, highlighted by a 4-0 victory over Cambuur. In contrast, Willem II have taken one point from three fixtures and have conceded ten goals, averaging over three goals allowed per game. With Willem II also missing several squad members including A. Culum, T. Didillon Hodl, and A. Lachkar, Excelsior have a strong probability of securing at least a point.

Willem II have struggled defensively in the early stages of the season, conceding four goals in each of their two league fixtures. In contrast, Heerenveen have already demonstrated competitive away form by securing a 2-2 draw at Ajax. In addition, Heerenveen have won five of the past nine head-to-head matches between the two sides. Backing Heerenveen on the Double Chance market provides solid coverage against a Willem II side dealing with multiple reported squad absences.
