Utrecht vs Willem II prediction

THE FORECAST

Both sides are in poor form and carry heavy injury lists, but Utrecht have the home advantage and extra motivation after their 0-5 humiliation against Feyenoord, with Van Overeem and Broholm returning to bolster a depleted squad. Willem II sit bottom of the table with just 2 points, their attack averaging under 1 goal per game, and coach Stegeman is under pressure which can further destabilise the squad. Mild, wet and windy conditions slightly suppress open play but neither team relies on high-intensity pressing, so the edge goes to Utrecht on home ground in what projects as a tight, low-scoring affair.
