Approaching the halfway stage in the season, the table is starting to take some shape. Willem have started the campaign on the front foot for sure, winnnigh six of their opening 15 games; however, four and five defeats leave them in eighth so far on 22 points, and in a precarious position where they could either fall or rise four places depending on the outcome of this result.
As for Emmen, they reside just two points behind in 11th. They have also the same number of wins, however because they failed to convert two of their defeats into draws, they are disadvantaged at this stage, despite their seven more goals.

Football Park’s Best Bet: Willem II to Win @ 1.8 - Recent form suggests confidence in a home win. At a 58.3% chance, Willem II stand as strong favourites for this fixture, backed up by their recent home form against Emmen.
Nick Doodeman (Willem II): The utter definition of a consistent performer and a playmaker. Doodeman’s ten assist have been vital in ensuring their start means they have a realistic chance of entering the playoffs come the end of the season.
Romano Postema (Emmen): On loan from Groningen, loanee Postema has proved to be some business so far from Emmen, with the 23-year-old seemingly having great fun in the second tier. His ten goals and three assists have proven to be Emmen’s main threat up top.
Referee: Stan Teuben.
Stadium Information: Located in Tilburg, Netherlands, the Koning Willem II Stadion can hold up to just over 14,000 supporters.
