Alright. Let's crunch some numbers here, folks. In the blue corner, we've got the Willem II Tilburg team, standing with Thomas Didillon between the sticks. Didillon, solid as always, hardly lets a ball through with 6 saves this season. They've had their ups, they've had their downs. Remember that tear-jerking defeat against FC Utrecht? But the 3-0 win against RKC Waalwijk brought some light to the dark corridors of Willem II Tilburg fans' hearts.
Now, on the outfield, Willem II boasts the likes of Amine Lachkar, Cisse Sandra, and Ringo Meerveld. With a high accurate pass rate, Lachkar is the engine that keeps Willem II running. Cisse Sandra, as well, isn't just here for the aesthetics and enjoying the green grass. He's got 3 goals to his name and with an impressive accurate pass rate.
Into the red corner, Almere City FC. In goal, we've got Nordin Bakker - a man with hands so safe, they could carry a baby panda through a mosh pit. Despite his best efforts, though, it seems like the Almere City team can't catch a break this season.
Smiling faces in the Almere team are equally scarce as goals this season. Ricardo Visus and Thom Haye are the guys trying to keep the ship afloat in the stormy seas of Eredivisie. The standout player here is surely Baptiste Guillaume and his goal that tastes sweeter when you've been thirsty for about 4 matches.
So, putting it all together, let's read the tea leaves here. Willem II Tilburg seems to be the stronger side on paper. Their recent form and stronger set of players suggests they'll come out on top in this meetup. It might be a tight one, but at the end of the day, somebody's got to walk out of there with their heads held high while the other one... well, you know what I mean.
