Willem II vs Emmen Predictions

Willem II won their second game on the run on the road last weekend beating Fortuna Sittard 3-2 to move onto six-points from their opening three matches, while Emmen secured their first points of the new campaign courtesy of a 2-0 home win over Heerenveen.

The brief history between these two clubs and the pairs’ performances and form heading into Saturday’s clash all suggest that Willem II will win and over 2.5 goals are going to be scored. Willem II might have lost their first home game of the new season but with four in six matches against Emmen, the hosts will be confident of securing all three points on Saturday.

Willem II have won two of their three home games against Emmen and both games produced over 2.5 goals, with the scorelines ending 3-2 and 5-0. Over 2.5 goals were scored in three of the pairs’ last five meetings, which includes the two above mentioned results and Emmen’s 3-2 win the last time the pair met in May.

The form of both clubs points towards a home win this weekend as Willem II have won three of their last five matches and Emmen have lost two of their last three in the Eredivisie. Both teams performances in those matches suggest we will be treated to at least three goals on Saturday as over 2.5 goals were produced in three of Willem LL’s last four and four of Emmen’s last six matches in all competitions.

Emmen have failed to score in two of their three Eredivisie games so far this season and that will be a concern for the visitors as Willem II have netted six goals in their opening three matches. Emmen conceded five goals away at Ajax but shouldn’t be put under quite as much pressure by the Willem II attack, though there is a good chance the hosts will score three times, given their previous results this season.

We’re confident that Willem II will win and over 2.5 goals will be scored in the process and have predicted a final scoreline of 3-0. Willem II have started the season brightly, scoring three goals in two separate Eredivisie games, both of which ended in victory. Emmen looked much improved at home to Heerenveen last time out but their away form was questionable last season and they shipped five goals in the first game on the road in the 2019/20 campaign.
