Willem II vs Cambuur Prediction & Tips | Eredivisie | FootballTips.app

A new chapter begins for bottom-side Willem II as they welcome Cambuur to the Koning Willem II Stadion. John Stegeman has been dismissed following a winless start to the Eredivisie season, leaving assistants Danny Schenkel and Pim Hendrix in temporary charge of a side with only two points from nine matches.

Stegeman’s final game ended in a 3-2 defeat away to Sparta Rotterdam, where another competitive attacking display was undermined by familiar defensive problems. Willem II have now lost seven of their nine league fixtures, conceding a division-high 26 goals while failing to keep a clean sheet.

A change in the dugout may provide the immediate response they desperately need, but the scale of the task is considerable. Willem II are winless in nine league matches and have collected only one point from four home games, although five goals across their last five outings suggest there has at least been some improvement going forward.

Cambuur arrive in considerably better shape after earning a 2-2 draw against AZ. Nicolas Binder and Ilyes Hamache gave Johan Plat’s side a two-goal advantage before Devid Eugene Bouah was dismissed early in the second half, with Cambuur eventually conceding an 82nd-minute penalty but holding on for a point.

That result extended their unbeaten sequence to three matches following a 1-0 victory over PEC Zwolle and a 1-1 draw with ADO Den Haag. Cambuur have also taken five of their nine points away from home and scored nine times across their last five matches, giving them reason for optimism against the league’s most porous defence.

Recent history strengthens their case, with Cambuur unbeaten in the last seven meetings between these sides, winning three and drawing four. Willem II may benefit from the lift that often accompanies a managerial change, but their defensive record makes Cambuur’s improving attack a significant threat.
