Willem II vs Telstar Betting Tips - BTTS
William II and Telstar return to action on Sunday with everything all to play for after a hard-fought share of the spoils in their Eredivisie playoff contest on Thursday evening. A late goal from Willem's Emilio Kehrer rescued a 2:2 draw for the Eredivisie side after in-form Youssef El Kachati's goal looked to have given the Eerste Divisie hosts a priceless first-leg victory.
Now returning to Tilburg with the tie delicately poised, another entertaining encounter with plenty of chances at both ends seems likely.
The hosts have endured a dismal run of form this year, failing to win any of their last 20 matches (in 90 minutes), and having finished 16th in the Dutch top flight, now face a nervy final day showdown against a Telstar side that has shown some strong away form this season.
Unbeaten in their last six games, Anthony Correia's side have lost just one of their last five road trips, and will be optimistic of troubling their badly out-of-form hosts.
Despite their dismal form, Willem II have been a particularly reliable choice in the goal markets this season, both in home and away fixtures. All but one of their last ten games saw BTTS, while ten of their last 12 home fixtures also finished with both teams getting on the scoresheet.
While Telstar have been less consistent as a BTTS pick, the visitors have lost just one of their last 13 games, and seem likely to stand up to the challenge of their Eredivisie hosts.
Four of the last five meetings between these sides finished with both teams scoring, and a minimum of three goals scored. Considering Thursday's back-and-forth contest in Velsen-Zuid, a similar outcome seems likely again this weekend.
BTTS is my best bet, while I also expect over 2.5 goals scored at Koning Willem II Stadion.
