RKC Waalwijk - FC Utrecht predictions

The visiting team knows the task they face will not be easy. Beating RKC Waalwijk on their own turf would be a major accomplishment, and it is always a formidable challenge.

FC Utrecht should be able to win this one, but such an outcome won’t come easily. The 2.26 betting odds on them winning indicate that it will be a close match - RKC Waalwijk are no pushovers.

RKC Waalwijk went into their previous Eredivisie match against AZ Alkmaar as clear underdogs: they played as visitors at the betting odds of 9.15. As such, the fact that they were in the lead at half-time was quite surprising, even if the final 3:2 loss wasn’t.

In their previous Eredivisie match, FC Utrecht secured a narrow win against Go Ahead Eagles after a solid performance in the second half. The first half didn’t go as smoothly as top online bookmakers thought it would, but they delivered the 2:1 home win either way.

Experts have pointed at RKC Waalwijk’s defence as their biggest issue at the moment. They conceded 6 goals over the last 3 Eredivisie games.

FC Utrecht fans have a lot of cause for concern – with 7 concessions in their latest 3 away games, their track record seems to indicate a tendency to underperform in away games.

RKC Waalwijk find themselves in a precarious situation as the Eredivisie campaign nears its end. Three places above the relegation zone ahead of 31 round and a difficult match against FC Utrecht, the hosts have every reason to feel uncomfortable.

FC Utrecht are seen as the stronger team – after all, they’re expected to win this game despite the home-field disadvantage. However, they failed to defeat RKC Waalwijk in the home game they played earlier in the season.

Due to the absence of injuries or suspensions, both teams will have their complete lineups available for an exciting match.

While it’s risky as far as betting predictions go, a Draw/Away bet in the Half Time/Full Time market is the best place to find betting value in this match. Simply put, the 3.09 odds outweigh the relatively small implied probability.
