H2H: Waalwijk v Feyenoord – Comparison.

Finn Stokkers equalised from the bench last time out for Waalwijk’s only home league goal. His side has lost by a 3+ margin in three of four appearances vs Feyenoord. League-leading scorer Steven Berghuis has bagged a brace in both of Feyenoord’s away league games. Three of those four goals came beyond HT. Dick Advocaat boasts an impressive managerial H2H record vs Waalwijk (W11, D1, L2). His sides have scored 3.36 goals per match on average across the last 11.

RKC Waalwijk Insights.

In a rare upturn of form, RKC Waalwijk have found the net in each of their last three games, and are unbeaten in two (W1, D1, L1). However, they have not gone three games unbeaten since their promotion, and the only occasion in which they avoided defeat in back-to-back games saw them fall 3-1 at home in the following game. Waalwijk have avoided defeat in over a third of home league games entered as matchday outsiders since their top-flight return (W2, D2, L7), including their 1-1 draw with Zwolle last time out. Waalwijk have also picked up 21 of their last 36 Eredivisie points at home, though they did ship 2+ goals and lose both home games vs ‘Big Three’ opposition last term.

Feyenoord Insights.

Visiting Feyenoord head into matchday six as one of just five unbeaten Eredivisie sides (W3, D2), though it remains to be seen what effect a mid-week trip to Croatia will have on their match sharpness. Feyenoord are yet to see a goalless first half in league action this term, with both teams scoring before HT in three (HT: W2, D3). The visitors are unbeaten in 12 domestic away games (W8, D4 – 90 minutes), with both victories this term seeing Feyenoord score in both halves and win with a 2+ goal margin. However, Feyenoord’s all-time Eredivisie record in H2Hs at the Mandemakers is surprisingly split (W8, D7, L8 – 2.87 average total goals per-game).
