Dutch Eredivisie Football 2012-2013 - Second Round Schedule Sunday

FC Groningen - Willem II

FC Groningen-fans are expecting a home when their team encounters Willem II. First there was the big loss last week when they played FC Twente (4-1). Second, their squad is reckoned to have more quality than their opponent. Then again, Willem II who promoted from the Jupiler league last year proved in the opening match that they will fight for every inch. They lost in the dying minutes of the game. Odds are against them, though. In the last 3 matches between the teams FC Groningen won all of them, scoring a total of 14 goals against 1.

PSV - Roda JC

After their unexpected defeat last week, PSV is looking for their first points of the season against Roda JC. The perspective looks good, because PSV was able to win 5 of the last 6 meetings. The one they didn’t win ended in a goalless draw. Last year version of PSV - Roda JC ended in a 7 - 1 home-win. PSV does have a lot more players who were active during international friendlies midweek, but we think that so early in the season it should not play a big role.

Dutch Eredivisie Football 2012-2013 - First Round Results and Review

Willem II – NAC Breda 1-1

The season opened with a regional derby between 2 archrivals.

Willem II, promoted from the Jupiler league, played very well against NAC Breda. Jens Podevijn gave Willem II the lead in the 79th minute, after good work from Virgil Misidjan.

They were very close to a surprise, but NAC-striker Anthony Lurling scored the equalizer in the last minutes of the game with a nice goal.

RKC Waalwijk – PSV 3-2

Perhaps the biggest surprise this weekend came from RKC Waalwijk – PSV.

Dutch Eredivisie Football 2012-2013 - First Round Schedule

The first round of the Dutch league is just days away and we might get to see a few interesting matches over the weekend.

This year we start with a regional derby between Willem II and NAC. It is also Willem II’s re-entrance in the Eredivisie, after playing a year in the Jupiler league. We hope it will do them well, because they weren’t able to win the last 5 games against their arch-rivals NAC Breda. Their kick off is on Friday.

Saturday PSV Eindhoven travels to face their neighbors RKC Waalwijk. PSV are the favorites to win, but last season RKC did win their home-game against them.
