Willem II defend the leadership of this Eerste Divisie 2023/2024 and just need to draw to remain in first place. The team comes are motivated 5 rounds of unbeaten streak, after 4 wins and 1 draw, and conceded just 2 goals during the period. As home team, despite having only the second best campaign with 38 points won in 16 appearances, they stand out for having scored in every home game. In fact, in general, Willem II has the best attack and the second best defense in the league, with 67 goals scored and 29 goals conceded in 33 rounds. Furthermore, the team is the third record holder for clean sheets with a total of 11 entire matches ending without conceding a goal. Belgian coach Peter Maes is very concerned about whether he will be able to repeat his ideal starting lineup, based on the 4-4-2 formation. Right-back Tommy St. Jago, the league's best tackler, was injured in the first half of the last match. If his participation is vetoed by the club's Medical Department, the tendency is for Freek Heerkens to be the replacement. Joshua Smits, one of the leading goalkeepers in clean sheets with 11 entire games without conceding goals, is a fundamental piece for Willem II's defensive solidity. Right winger Nick Doodeman remains second in assists in the championship with 13 passes that resulted in goals in his 27 appearances.

Confirmed Lineup: Joshua Smits, Erik Schouten, Freek Heerkens, Raffael Behounek, Rob Nizet, Thijs Oosting, Jesse Bosch, Amine Lachkar, Nick Doodeman, Max Svensson, Jeredy Hilterman.
Coach: P. Maes.
