SC Heerenveen - RKC Waalwijk predictions

SC Heerenveen are firm favourites in this matchup, and backing them may offer surprising betting value. It’s a very safe bet, though we suppose an upset is not outside the realm of possibility. We wouldn’t count on RKC Waalwijk winning, though.

RKC Waalwijk are massive underdogs and will be extremely lucky to avoid complete annihilation at the hands of SC Heerenveen.

SC Heerenveen’s previous Eredivisie match did not go their way, but not even the most stubborn fans would have predicted a different result against a team as strong as Feyenoord . They played as visitors, and the top online bookmakers priced an away win at 12.00. They never recovered from some early concessions, and the score was brought to a conclusive 3:0 result before the end.

RKC Waalwijk’s 2:2 draw may not seem great, but it can be seen as a bit of a success if we consider the circumstances. They were losing at half-time as a visiting team against Heracles, who were overwhelmingly favoured to win.

The first step SC Heerenveen need to make to improve is to shore up their defences. With more than 5 goals conceded over the last 3 matches, it seems to be the main aspect of play holding them back.

RKC Waalwijk’s recent performance as visitors has been marked by a lot of conceded goals – 9 in their previous 3 away games.

RKC Waalwijk’s 18th table placement means that, if they continue with lacklustre performances, they’ll be on their way to relegation. It’s still too early to write them off, though, even if the upcoming match is a difficult one.

SC Heerenveen have a relatively recent victory on record against RKC Waalwijk. It happened last season, but they managed to secure a hefty goal difference as well. With that in mind, their position as the favourites in this matchup makes a lot of sense.

RKC Waalwijk will have an even more difficult time of this match than what was expected. They will be missing at least a few players due to injury - Jeroen Houwen, Yanick van Osch, Juan Familio-Castillo, Faissal Al Mazyani will all be unable to perform.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1 if you use the 1xbet sportsbook.
