- 11' The travelling Willem II Tilburg supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 16' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Koki Ogawa suffering a number of foals already.
- 21' Supporters expect more eagerness from Jesse Bosch, as he is very good at scoring at Stadion De Goffert with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
