These sides sit level on points in the Eerste Divisie after 17 matches with Den Bosch only ahead of Willem II on goal difference. Den Bosch have conceded more goals than any other side in the Eerste Divisie this term (35 - 2.05 per game) but have scored the same amount of goals which has led to eight wins from their 17 matches.

Willem II have been pretty strong on the road this term, winning four of their nine matches with these games producing 30 goals (3.33 per game). Willem II are the only side in the top 13 of the Eerste Divisie that have a negative goal difference (-3). Den Bosch enter this game having seen BTTS in each of their last five matches across all competitions, managing to win two of these games.

Willem II have seen BTTS in three of their last five matches across all competitions, and are likely to be forced out here with Den Bosch netting 21 goals across their eight home matches this term. The away side should still have opportunities when noting that Den Bosch have only kept three clean sheets in the Eerste Divisie this term as well as conceding 14 goals at home.

Mechelen have started their domestic season well with just three defeats from their 15 matches in the Belgian Pro League. They sit a fair way behind the pace set by Union St Gilloise and Club Brugge at the summit of the Belgian top flight, but can look to extend their strong start to the campaign against a faltering Standard Liege side.

The away team have seen 14 goals across their seven away matches in the Belgian Pro League this term with just two wins from these games. Only four sides have picked up fewer points on the road than Standard Liege, offering real an opportunity for Mechelen to collect all three points here.

Notably, Mechelen have been a lot brighter on the road than at home this term with just two of their six wins coming in front of their fans. These games have produced 18 goals (2.57 per game) and offer Standard Liege a bit of encouragement in what otherwise has been a bit of a laboured start to the campaign.

These sides met most recently in September in a clash which saw BTTS as the sides played out a 1-1 draw. Both sides produced an xG in excess of 1.0 on that occasion, with a combined xG of 2.46 produced.

Zwolle come into this clash having seen BTTS in four of their last five matches across all competitions. They’ve had some crazy scorelines in this recent run, including an 8-2 defeat to Heracles and two 2-2 draws against Nijmegen and Groningen.

Heerenveen saw BTTS last time out as they claimed a shock win against AZ Alkmaar, despite sitting six places below their opponents on that occasion in the league table.

This marks the third occasion in their last five matches where they’ve seen BTTS, with Heerenveen managing to win just one of these matches. They’ve only managed to win one of their six away matches this term, with these games producing 17 goals (2.83 per game).

Each of the last three head to head meetings, all taking place within the last year, have seen BTTS. The most recent meeting between the sides took place in February and ended in a 1-1 draw. There was a combined xG of exactly 2.0 produced in that clash, and similar could be on the cards here.

Metz have found some form in recent weeks with three wins from their last five matches across all competitions. These three wins against Lens, Nantes and Nice represent the first victories that Metz have managed in Ligue 1 this term, and now gives them a fighting chance of survival after previously being left marooned at the bottom of the table.

Metz have seen BTTS in each of their last two matches heading into the contest against Nice and Brest. They narrowly lost out to Brest last time out due to a 90+10 minute penalty which brought to a halt their brief surge of positive form. Metz are definitely much more of a threat at home than on the road, two of their three wins this campaign have come in front of their home fans.

Rennes sit in a less precarious position than their opponents and are hovering around the European spots. They’ve only won one of their six away matches this season, with these games providing 19 goals (3.16 per game). They enter this game having seen BTTS in four of their last five matches across all competitions.
