Waalwijk proved their mettle in the playoff series, eliminating Roda on penalties. The team plays very openly: nine of their last 10 league matches have featured goals. Willem II, on the other hand, enters the derby in fantastic form, riding a nine-game unbeaten streak, with the visitors scoring and conceding in seven of those.
Their head-to-head record strongly supports our prediction. Six of the last seven head-to-head matches between these rivals have featured a "both teams to score" bet. Moreover, this rule has also worked this season (Willem II won the regular season 2-1 and 2-3).
Despite the fact that Willem II appears to be the better team and is unbeaten in six away matches, Waalwijk scores an average of almost two goals per game at home. The hosts' defense is far from ideal (they have conceded 60 goals this season), but their attack is capable of punishing anyone.
