Our experience with the bookmakers has shown that these odds can fluctuate, so it’s advisable to check for any updates as the match day approaches.

Current Form of NAC Breda

NAC Breda is facing a challenging end to the season, currently occupying the 15th position in the Eredivisie standings with 32 points. Their recent form has been less than ideal, with only one win in their last five matches (1 win, 1 draw, 3 defeats). Their last outing saw them suffer a narrow 0-1 defeat to Fortuna Sittard, a result that will undoubtedly weigh heavily on their confidence. With a goal difference of -21 (33 scored and 54 conceded), defensive frailties have been a significant concern for Carl Hoefkens' side. However, their home record boasts 6 victories, indicating that they can be a formidable opponent at the Rat Verlegh Stadium.

Insights on Willem II

Willem II is in a precarious position, sitting 16th in the league with only 25 points, and their recent performances have not helped their cause. The team has managed just 1 win in their last five matches (1 win, 1 draw, 3 defeats) and fell to a 1-2 home loss against Heracles Almelo in their last game. With a goal tally of 32 scored and 53 conceded, they have also struggled defensively, and Kristof Aelbrecht will need to find a way to tighten up their backline if they hope to avoid relegation. Their away record of 3 wins, 4 draws, and 9 defeats paints a grim picture, making this encounter critical for their survival hopes.

The Last Direct Duels

The last five encounters between NAC Breda and Willem II have produced an intriguing mix of results. The teams have faced each other with a balance of outcomes: NAC Breda has claimed victory twice, while Willem II has won once, and there have been two draws. The most recent face-off ended in a 2-2 stalemate, highlighting the competitive nature of their meetings. Given their current standings, both teams will be eager to secure maximum points this time around.

Conclusion

As NAC Breda prepares to host Willem II, the stakes could not be higher for both teams. NAC Breda enters the match as the favorites due to their home advantage and slightly better position in the league. However, with both teams struggling for form and consistency, the match could go either way. Our predictions lean towards a home win for NAC Breda, while the likelihood of both teams scoring seems low based on their recent performances.
