Cambuur have fared slightly better, winning one and drawing two of their own last seven, but they've also shipped four or five goals in three separate matches this season, including defeats to Feyenoord and Twente.

Neither side arrives with much momentum, which makes the goals picture hard to call either way.

There's no clear pattern of one side dominating this fixture, and recent results reflect how close these matches tend to be.

Where they stand

Willem II sit 18th with just two points from seven games, while Cambuur are 14th with five points from the same number of matches. Both numbers point to a tough start to the campaign for either club.

How this one might play out

Both defences have looked shaky lately. Willem II have conceded in five of their last seven league games, and Cambuur have let in four or more on three separate occasions this term.

With both attacks also inconsistent, this has the makings of an open, unpredictable contest rather than a tight, low-scoring one.
