Feyenoord - RKC Waalwijk predictions

With betting odds working largely in their favour, Feyenoord are expected to record a clean-cut victory in this match. We expected them to completely outclass RKC Waalwijk.

It’s hard to believe even the most optimistic RKC Waalwijk fans are expecting them to triumph at Feyenoord this Sunday. It’s a completely one-sided matchup, and the hosts should have no problems steamrolling their opponents.

Feyenoord went into their previous home game as the hard favourites but failed to gain the upper hand before half-time. However, the second half was a bit more predictable, and the hosts ended up winning the match 2:0.

RKC Waalwijk’s previous outing was quite exciting. They snagged a 2:0 victory In a home game against NEC, who were considered somewhat stronger going in. The fact that they were in the lead already during half-time makes the triumph even more surprising.

Feyenoord’s form feels especially strong in the defensive department. They haven’t conceded a single goal in their last three Eredivisie outings.

Considering the away team’s recent history, it seems they don’t play their best when they’re visitors. The previous 3 times were marked by 5 goals conceded and the negative trend will probably continue.

In addition to being this matchup’s favourites, the home team are number 2nd in the standings. This means they’re on their way to the Champions League if they keep the pace up. That said, there’s plenty of time left for them to fumble it – or to move up to first.

Looking over the head-to-head statistics for this Eredivisie season, the hosts already recorded a victory over RKC Waalwijk. This puts them ahead of their opponents, which is reflected in the betting odds.

The hosts may be favourites to win the match, but their lineup is in a somewhat weakened state. Gernot Trauner, Lutsharel Geertruida, Gjivai Zechiël, Thomas Van den Belt are all sidelined due to injury, which makes Feyenoord’s position as favourites a bit shakier than it might seem.

Going for a -1.5 Handicap on the favourite’s score is the best way to get some value out of this match. You’ll eliminate the possibility of a draw, for one. More importantly, this way you might actually get a decent payout for backing the stronger team.
