Match Preview
As RKC Waalwijk prepares to host Willem II at the Mandemakers Stadion on Friday, both teams are looking to improve their standing in the Eerste Divisie. RKC comes into this match with a mixed bag of results, having secured only one win in their last five outings (LDWLL). In contrast, Willem II has struggled even more, managing just one draw and four losses in their recent games (WLLDL). Historically, Waalwijk has dominated this fixture, winning seven of the last ten encounters, which could give them a psychological edge. One key angle to consider is the scoring potential in this match. Six of the last ten head-to-head meetings have seen over 2.5 goals, and both teams have shown vulnerabilities in defence recently. With RKC's home advantage and Willem II's need to break their losing streak, this match could see an open game with chances at both ends. Fans can expect an engaging contest that might yield several goals, making it an intriguing fixture to watch.
