Willem II vs De Graafschap Prediction

Right, grab a pint and let's crack open this Eerste Divisie clash. Willem II take on De Graafschap, and the numbers tell a pretty clear story.

Willem II are flying at the moment. In their last 10 games, they've won 6 of them, scoring a massive 21 goals while keeping the defense tight at just 0.8 goals conceded per game. When they play at home, they've won 60% of their matches. Their recent form is scorching, including a 5-0 thrashing of MVV and a 3-1 victory over FC OSS. They are currently sitting 3rd in the table with 53 points.

De Graafschap are no slouches, sitting 5th with 52 points, but their away form is a bit shaky. They've only won 33.33% of their away games recently. Their defense is also leakier, conceding 1.6 goals per game compared to Willem II's 0.8. In their last 10 games, they've scored 17 goals and conceded 16.

Looking at the head-to-head, Willem II has won 5 out of 8 meetings. Specifically at home, they've won 3 of the last 4 encounters against De Graafschap. That's a 75% win rate on their own turf against this opponent. The last meeting ended in a 1-1 draw in September 2025, but historically, the home side has the edge.

The bookies have Willem II to win at 2.20. That implies about a 45% chance, but the history and current form suggest a much higher probability. With Willem II's recent 5-0 win and De Graafschap's recent 1-2 loss to ADO Den Haag, the home side looks the safer bet. The goal expectancies suggest a total of around 2.70 goals, but the head-to-head record heavily favors the home team taking three points.

So, the value is on Willem II to win. It's a straightforward call based on the stats. If you're looking for value, the home win is where the edge lies.
