RKC Waalwijk - Heracles predictions

Predicting which side will win this match based on odds alone is a complete toss-up. We would say the hosts have a bit of an advantage, but their success is by no means assured.

The visitors understand the difficulty of the task at hand. To beat RKC Waalwijk on their own turf would be a major feat, and it is always a tough challenge.

Things looked bleak and dreary for RKC Waalwijk who took a step towards what would have been a widely expected defeat in the previous Eredivisie round. However, they showed great strength of character by getting back to their feet and earning an impressive AZ Alkmaar draw.

Heracles are bursting with confidence after their latest Eredivisie home victory. Despite being tagged clear underdogs in the matchup against FC Twente, they were ahead at both half time and the final whistle.

Looking over the home team’s recent record, we can see a worrying trend. They’ve conceded more than 5 goals over the past 3 matches alone, indicating problems in their defensive lineup.

Based on their recent performance, Heracles’s largest issue seems to be defence, especially in away games. With 6 conceded goals in their 3 previous visiting matches, Over 3.5 Goals markets seem like a solid betting option.

RKC Waalwijk find themselves at number 17th on the league table, which is well within the relegation zone. Most betting predictions agree that this match can go either way, but they’ll be desperate to get to the 0 points they need.

The home team had several opportunities to beat Heracles this season, yet never managed to get anything other than a draw. They’re still considered the favourites, though, and the home-field advantage might be just what they need to break the stalemate.

The odds being what they are, remember that they were priced with various injuries in mind. The hosts reported that Dario Van Den Buijs, Luuk Wouters, Yanick van Osch will have to sit this one out, while Heracles will have to make do without Sava-Arangel Cestic, Lorenzo Milani, Mats Rots.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 1.70, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
