Two fixtures can never measure a team’s true potential. But Willem II have a golden opportunity to go to the top of the table when they host Vitesse in the 2nd weekend of the current Dutch Eredivisie season.
That said, Vitesse are no pushovers. They have the team full of players who have done better in the recent seasons and are surely better on paper than what Willem could name on any matchday.
But despite the hosts heading into the match with good momentum after winning 1-3 away to Zwolle, the visitors must be optimistic after forcing the mighty and the reigning champions Ajax to a 2-2 draw.

Potential Game Changers – Captain and Vice-Captain options
Vangelis Pavlidis: The 20-year-old exploded to the scenes last season as he scored five-time in 14 league games. That’s a good return considering his experience at the top level. While he has started the new season with a bang, scoring twice in the opening game, including a brace.
Last season stats:
Current season:
Mats Kohlert: Spent the last season in the 4th tier of Bundesliga, but a good 2nd half of the season was enough for a call from Willem II. The 21-year-old is definitely a player for the future.
Tim Matavz: Any given day, Vitesse look up to Matavz for the goals. He has had a good last season and will be looking to open his goal tally in this game.

WIL vs VTE Dream11 potential winner: Vitesse should at least get a draw here.
