Team News
Thomas Didillon-Hödl, Vito van Crooij, Justin Hoogma, Amine Lachkar, Kasper Boogaard, Armin Culum and Thijs Muller are still unavailable for John Stegeman, leaving Willem II with few choices in multiple positions.
Maxime Delanghe is set to remain in goal after another eventful evening versus Ajax, with Hidde ter Avest, Finn Stam, Maxim Dekker and Nathan Tjoe-A-On making up the defensive line. Their main aim will be to regain some defensive solidity after letting in five in Amsterdam.
Tonny Vilhena and Calvin Twigt are likely to partner in the double pivot, with Uriël van Aalst playing centrally behind the striker. Van Aalst has registered two assists and remains one of Willem II’s most consistent creative forces.
Further up the pitch, Per van Loon and Jaden Slory are likely to partner Haen, who tops the scoring charts for the team with three league goals. Tjoe-A-On also poses a significant threat from deeper positions and is among the Eredivisie leaders for big chances created.
Kristoffer Peterson, Iván Márquez, Yassin Oukili, Sven Simons and Siebe Wylin are unavailable for Danny Buijs, but he keeps most of his preferred attacking choices.
Mattijs Branderhorst is set to begin behind Philip Brittijn, Rodrigo Guth and Justin Hubner. Following the collapse against Ajax, Buijs will be eager for the back three to handle crosses and set-pieces much more effectively.
Ivo Pinto and Jasper Dahlhaus are expected to provide the width, with Shiloh ’t Zand and Édouard Michut operating in central midfield. Michut has already provided two assists and remains crucial when Fortuna aim to transition the ball swiftly through the middle.
Ihattaren and Zeefuik are Fortuna’s top scorers with three goals each, while Ole Romeny offers another direct danger and averages 1.8 shots on target per match. Their movement behind Zeefuik should challenge a Willem II defence that has had difficulties against fast combinations.
Odds
Willem Ii Win: 2.52
DRAW: 3.72

The projected score for this one is Willem Ii 1 - 2 Fortuna Sittard, an away win by 1 with 3 goals in it — on the right side of the 2.5 line.
The read: With barely anything between them on price, this is one to leave alone in the 1X2 market and attack in the goals or handicap markets instead.
