NAC Breda - RKC Waalwijk predictions

NAC Breda should not have bigger problems running away with three points in this match if they stick to their game plan. However, RKC Waalwijk can be a tough nut to crack and the home side need to be on top of their game.

RKC Waalwijk appear severely unprepared for a clash with NAC Breda, to the point of being considered hard underdogs. We would consider even a draw a success, so the long 3.69 odds for an away win bit seem fitting.

NAC Breda went into their previous Eredivisie match as clear underdogs playing as visitors against PEC Zwolle . The draw during half-time was surprising enough – but no-one saw their narrow 1:2 victory coming.

RKC Waalwijk are coming off of a 2:2 draw in a relatively low-scoring home game against FC Twente last round. Considering how heavily the Eredivisie betting odds were stacked against them, however, the point they earned can be considered an accomplishment.

The previous two matched NAC Breda played as hosts ended without much excitement. Neither featured more than a single goal.

With 7 goals in their own net over the last 3 matches, RKC Waalwijk’s defence leaves a lot to be desired.

Number 9th in the current standings, the hosts are trying to move up the table in these early stages of the season. They stand a good chance of getting closer to their goal this Saturday.

RKC Waalwijk’s campaign got off to a rocky start this season, with them landing in the relegation zone after 10 matches. They’re 2 points away from getting out, but earning any points this Saturday will be extremely challenging. Most betting predictions see them as the underdogs, and their confidence probably took a hit as well.

To make things even more difficult for the visitors, they’ve had an unfortunate run of injuries recently. Dario Van Den Buijs, Michiel Kramer, Oskar Zawada, Richard van der Venne have all been put out of contention, leaving the team’s coach with a more limited set of options at his disposal.

Based on the information available, a Draw/Home in the HT/FT market is a more likely outcome than the 2.01 odds are implying. It’s still a risky bet to take, but it offers strong value.
