Heerenveen vs Willem II Prediction & Betting tips
Willem II is the surprise of this season. The Tilburg players are currently in third place in the Eredivisie. On Wednesday evening the players from Brabant play in the eighth finals of the KNVB Cup against SC Heerenveen. Will Willem II take the good form from the competition to the cup tournament?
SC Heerenveen:
SC Heerenveen had a bad restart this season. The Frisians played an away game against Feyenoord last Saturday. They did this, certainly not in the first half, not at all so badly, only lacking precision in the completion. The bad luck for Heerenveen was that the home team did well with its chances. Heerenveen soon faced a 3-0 deficit. The game in Rotterdam would eventually be lost 3-1.
In the cup tournament, Heerenveen did not have too many opponents this season so far. Excelsior Maassluis was beaten 0-3, and just before the turn of the year, Heerenveen was too strong for Roda JC at home (2-0). Striker Jens Odgaard was missing in Saturday’s game. The way of playing with Jordy Bruijn as a wandering striker went great in itself, so it is quite conceivable that trainer Johnny Jansen will start again with this tactic on Wednesday. Sherel Floranus can be re-deployed after a suspension and can play on both sides of the defense.
Willem II:
Willem II played great last time. The Tilburgers certainly did not have a simple first game of the calendar year. In the away game at AZ Alkmaar the team of Adrie Koster initially had a very difficult time. However, due to the fact that the deficit did not exceed 1-0, the Brabant players remained in the match. After the break they came back very well. The deficit was turned into a 1-3 win, making the Tilburgers now the number three in the ranking.
Cup competitions and Willem II are also a good combination in recent seasons. Last year the Tricolores made it to the finals and perhaps the team will get far this season. If this round is survived, a home game is waiting. If there is another win in the quarterfinals, Willem II will also play the semifinals in Tilburg. The club management announced the transfer of Görkem Saglam this week. This midfielder makes the transfer from VfL Bochum to Willem II transfer free. Saglam will be in Koster’s competition selection on Wednesday.
