Willem II vs Feyenoord Match Preview

Feyenoord have a good chance to proof that they do not belong on their current position on the table. The Rotterdam club grabbed a 2-1 home win against ADO Den Haag last week, thus climbing out of the relegation zone. A win at rock bottom Willem II would confirm their upward trend.

Mario Been may hand Jhonny van Beukering a chance in Tilburg. The striker, who was without a club after NEC refused to hand him a new contract after last seasons, will probably sign at Feyenoord before the weekend. Been worked with Van Beukering at NEC in the past and the coach threw him out of his selection twice because of overweight.

Willem II are still looking for their first win of the season. The ‘Tricolores’, who have only 3 points from 16 matches, are on their way to set another negative Eredivisie record. The lowest amount of points of at the halfway point for a club in Eredivisie history was 4, by Helmond Sport (1983/1984), Cambuur Leeuwarden (1993/1994) and RBC Roosendaal (2005/2006). Willem II scored as many goals as they lost matches this season: 13.

Willem II vs Feyenoord Match Report

A clumsy own goal by Ricky van Haaren cost Feyenoord the victory in Tilburg on Sunday: 1-1. The Rotterdam squad were heading for their first away win this season after a Kelvin Leerdam goal in the 37th minute, when Van Haaren left his own goalkeeper without a chance with a header six minutes from time.

Willem II gained a point, but relegation seems inevitable halfway into the season. The ‘Tricolores’ only have 4 points from their first 17 matches, thus equaling the Eredivisie record of Helmond Sport (19883/1984), Cambuur Leeuwarden (1993/1994) and RBC Roosendaal (2005/2006). These three clubs all relegated.

Mario Been was not amused with his team’s performance. “If I have to give my team a mark from one to ten, it would be four”, the Feyenoord coach said. “We should be ashamed of ourselves. This was a relegation match and we played like that, nervous and messy.”
