Progres Niedercorn hosts Willem II in the quarterfinals of the Europa League qualification. The match will be played on Wednesday, September 16th at Stade Municipal de la Ville de Differdange (Differdange)
Progres Niedercorn will once again try to reach the fourth qualifying round of the Europa League. The hosts lost to Glasgow Rangers at this stage last year (0-4, on aggregate). The Bumblebees can hardly be called a serious contender for getting into the group. We all know the level of Luxembourgish football very well. There is an example in the person of Dudelange, which played at the group stage, but this is an isolated case. And there was no serious strengthening to achieve this goal.

Willem II made it to the European Cups for the first time in a long period. The Tricolors did not start well in the national championship, having lost to Heerenveen (0-2). Adrie Koster's men lacked forces at the end of last season, which naturally influenced the results. If they played well in at least three rounds, they would have displaced Feyenoord from the third line, which gave the right to get into the group directly. It will be interesting to look at Willem, as a very young line-up has gathered.
We can say with confidence that Progres will play defensive football, leaving the ball under the control of the Dutch. The main task of the hosts will be to stay out. Keep in mind that only one meeting is played at this stage. This means that Willem needs to open the scoring as soon as possible, so as not to bring the match to extra times or penalty shootout. If the visitors manage to do this, the Luxembourgers will have very little chance of winning back, given a rather modest defense and the high-speed flanks of the Tricolors. I think that the visitors shouldn't have any problems against a very comfortable opponent.
Prediction for the match: Willem II to win with -1.0 handicap
