RKC Waalwijk - NEC predictions

RKC Waalwijk have their work cut out for them if they want to beat NEC. They are widely considered to be the weaker team – though the difference is not huge, to be fair. Overall, it’s shaping up to be an exciting showdown.

NEC have their work cut out for them this Friday. Most bookmakers online see them as the stronger team, made evident by the 2.38 betting odds for an away win. That’s a fairly slim advantage, though.

RKC Waalwijk’s painful defeat in their previous away match could have been seen from a mile away. They were facing FC Twente as visitors, so betting predictions never gave them much of a shot. The home team took an early lead which culminated in a 3:0 loss for RKC Waalwijk.

NEC’s previous Eredivisie round against Heracles left a lot of fans confused during half-time because they were playing from behind in a favourable matchup. They made up for it by the end, though, by dominating the second half into a clear 3:1 home win.

RKC Waalwijk have been struggling to keep the ball out of their net lately. For instance, their previous 3 Eredivisie matches were marked by more than 5 goals conceded in total.

You may want to look at NEC as good candidates for markets like BTTS bets or Over 5 Goals. They have more than 5 goals on record from their previous 3 games alone.

Should they manage to earn three points in this match, the hosts will gain some valuable distance between them and the relegation zone. The outcome of the match is rather unpredictable, though, and the competition is heating up as we move into the season’s later stages.

NEC already won a match against RKC Waalwijk this season while playing a home game. Even though they won’t have home-field advantage this time, they’re still considered favourites. After all, their previous victory was quite decisive and ended with a considerable lead.

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

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.70 odds offered at Pncl.
