Waalwijk vs Heerenveen Prediction & Betting tips
SC Heerenveen will take on RKC Waalwijk on Sunday afternoon. The Brabanders would like to book their second victory of the season, but know that it will be difficult against the subtopper from Friesland.
RKC:
RKC Waalwijk escaped relegation last season only through administrative intervention by the KNVB. Looking at the sporty part, relegation would have been justified. But the Waalwijkers got a second chance. To say that Fred Grim’s team took it with both hands: no. After eight rounds, RKC has five points. The play of the blue-yellows is still often very poor.
Two weeks ago, RKC failed to take points, in a match in which something seemed possible in advance. Sparta Rotterdam, however, left the Mandemakers Stadium with a 0-2 victory, in a match in which RKC performed poorly. So now the confrontation with SC Heerenveen awaits. Last year, RKC lost the home game with the Frisians. Due to two late goals against the previous edition of RKC-Heerenveen ended in 1-3.
SC Heerenveen:
SC Heerenveen had a very good first quarter of this season. The Frisians scored a very respectable number of sixteen points from eight games. Two weeks ago, however, was lost for the second time this season. AZ Alkmaar came to visit the Abe Lenstra Stadium, and the North Hollanders were clearly of a different level than Heerenveen. Johnny Jansen’s team had little to say and lost (0-3).
“RKC is not AZ, but they certainly play good matches,” Jansen said this week to Heerenveen’s own media, looking ahead to Sunday’s opponent. “We have to be vigilant, keep our promises and be sharp.” It is expected that the same eleven players who started in the match against AZ two weeks ago, will also kick off in Waalwijk on Sunday.
