TILBURG, Netherlands (Interstat) — Willem II will host Cambuur on Friday at Koning Willem II Stadion in Tilburg, with the home side seeking its first win across all competitions this season.

Willem II enters with 0 wins, 7 losses and 2 draws across all competitions. Cambuur is 2-4-3 overall. Willem II’s most recent result was a 3-2 loss at Sparta Rotterdam, where Uriel Van Aalst scored in 81 minutes, Tonny Vilhena scored in 66 minutes and Hidde Ter Avest played 90 minutes. Vilhena, a player to watch for Willem II, also played 72 minutes at Utrecht in his previous appearance. He gives the home side a veteran presence in the attacking third.

Cambuur’s most recent result was a 2-2 draw against AZ Alkmaar. Ilyes Hamache scored in 84 minutes, Nicolas Binder scored in 75 minutes and Billy Van Duijl provided an assist while playing 90 minutes. Hamache, a player to watch for Cambuur, will be central to the visitors’ attacking plans after his recent goal. Cambuur also has recent wins over Zwolle and NEC, though it has mixed those results with losses to Twente, Feyenoord, Sittard and Excelsior. Cambuur’s other results include a 1-1 draw at Den Haag and a 2-2 draw at Telstar.

Willem II has struggled to convert matches into points. Recent defeats to Utrecht, Sittard, Ajax and Sparta Rotterdam have left the home side searching for form, while draws against AZ and Heerenveen have provided the only positive results. The home side will need a stronger defensive performance and more production from Vilhena and Van Aalst to challenge Cambuur.

Cambuur has shown more scoring potential. Hamache, Binder and Van Duijl have been among the most productive players in recent matches, and the visitors will look to carry that momentum into Tilburg. Cambuur’s recent 1-0 win at Zwolle and 3-0 home win over NEC show it can create chances, but its 2-2 draw with AZ also exposed some defensive issues.

Cambuur’s upcoming schedule includes matches against Go Ahead, PSV, Utrecht, Jong Sparta Rotterdam, Heerenveen, Ajax and Groningen. Willem II’s next stretch includes PSV, Zwolle, Twente, Groningen, Feyenoord, Den Haag, Telstar and Ajax. The match at Koning Willem II Stadion is the immediate focus for both sides as they look to improve their overall records. Both clubs will return to league play after this fixture, with Cambuur and Willem II facing crowded schedules in the weeks ahead.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a final score of Cambuur 2, Willem II 1. Interstat’s ELO system gives Cambuur a 51.3 percent probability to win.
