Waalwijk vs Nijmegen Prediction & Betting tips
NEC should quickly regain its champion form, otherwise a return in the Premier League will be a difficult story. On Friday, the Nijmegen residents will visit the low-flyer RKC Waalwijk.
Waalwijk :
RKC plays a colorless season and bivouacs in the lower regions of the ranking. The change of coach, in which Peter van den Berg cleared the field and Hans de Koning perceived his duties, has paid little fruit. The King only won one of his seven games.
The last two weeks, RKC played scorelessly equal. Two weeks ago, there was no score against Cambuur Leeuwarden, while last week in the derby against FC Den Bosch also no goals were to be celebrated. The lack of goals was compensated by an abundance of cards. There were five yellow and three red cards.
In the 80th minute, Serginho Greene could take a shower after his two yellow prints. Jordy van der Winden of FC Den Bosch had already been in the locker room for a long time. In the 87th minute Hans Mulder got a direct red card after a scramble with Sam Kersten. The midfielder must therefore pass the meeting with his old club NEC.
RKC may have few sporting highlights this season, the team is hard to beat at the own Mandemakers stadium. The team lost only two of its last two home games.
Nijmegen :
The difference in the sporting performances of NEC in her home games and outside the Goffert is as big as day and night. In house NEC won eleven of her fourteen matches and played the other three equal. Outside Nijmegen, however, the performances are dramatic: the last five away games were all lost.
The arrival of the new trainer Pepijn Lijnders did not have a positive effect on performance. Adrie Bogers was a trainer with little flair, but won his matches with NEC. So, under Lijnders, it is particularly difficult in the away games.
Last week the topper against Fortuna Sittard was on the program. With a victory, the team from Limburg could be put on an almost unbridgeable gap of seven points. NEC, however, turned out to be a 1-1, making it not only possible for Young Ajax to finish, but also FC Emmen and Telstar saw approaching to five points. Young Ajax lost to Jong FC Utrecht last Monday, so the gap on NEC is now two points.
NEC lost not only two points against Fortuna but also Mohammed Rayhi. The water-fast winger was again injured in his hamstring. He will be replaced by Steeven Langil, who is completely fit again.
