Team Previews, Form, and Standout Players

As October kicks off, both teams will be looking for a win in this fixture.

Almere will be looking to move them up from the bottom portion of the table, whilst Willem II want to move up toward the European spots.

Almere City Preview

Almere City Predicted Line-up - Nordin Bakker; Hamdi Akujobi, James Lawrence, Joey Jacobs, Vassilis Zagaritis; Jochem Ritmeester van de Kamp, Alex Carbonell; Kornelius Hansen, Thomas Robinet, Junior Kadile; Baptiste Guillaume

Almere have been very poor so far this season, conceding 18 goals and only scoring two so far. They’re five points off safety, and could end up further adrift should they not win this fixture.

Whilst they’ve been poor at both ends of the pitch, Thomas Robinet will continue to be trusted, because he scored 12 goals last season.

Willem II Preview

Willem II Predicted Line-up - Thomas Didillon-Hodl; Mickael Tirpan, Raffael Behounek, Tommy St. Jago; Nick Doodeman, Jesse Bosch, Boris Lambert, Ringo Meerveld, Runar thor Sigurgeirsson; Kyan Vaesen, Cisse Sandra

Despite a defeat to PSV last time out, Willem II’s start to the campaign has been relatively positive.

Despite a tricky opening run, Willem sit 8th in the table, so they’ll be looking to regain winning form against a poor Almere side.

Both Vaesen and Sandra have notched three goals so far this season, and they’ll be key in attack for this fixture.
