H2H: Waalwijk vs Twente – Result Prediction (Eredivisie

Preview and Teams Comparison.

The aptly-named RKC Waalwijk manager Fred Grim has seen his side sit rock-bottom of the Eredivisie since matchday five, mostly due to their return of just one home victory all season (W1, D1, L6). Moreover, only two sides have conceded more than Waalwijk’s 43 goals at this stage of any Eredivisie season in this century (2.53 per-match on average). Should Waalwijk lead at the break (as they have in five of their 17 Eredivisie games) it may not last. No side has dropped more points from leading positions at the interval than Waalwijk, with a dreadful record of: W1, D1, L3, across the applicable games.

All of FC Twente’s away league games this season have seen over 2.5 match goals, barring their two goalless draws (W2, D2, L4). Notably though, Twente have been involved in a third of the overall goalless draws in the Eredivisie this season, with half of Twente’s away league games to date seeing a goalless first half. Twente are yet to concede an equaliser when taking a lead in away league games. However, they must note that they have conceded over a third of their away league goals beyond the 75th minute (40%). Moreover, Twente have won just one of their last six matches vs promoted opposition (W1, D3, L2), with both defeats coming by a single-goal margin.

Players to watch: Waalwijk’s Sylla Sow recently scored in four consecutive games in all competitions before a three-game drought. This includes the opener in their sole home league victory. With one goal and one assist, Haris Vučkić was involved with two of Twente’s only three goals across their last five away games.

Stat attack: Waalwijk are currently averaging 2.53 cards per-league fixture. The basement club have also received a red card in three of their last five league matches. The home side on the day has averaged 1.33 red cards across Twente’s last three Eredivisie away wins.
