RKC Waalwijk vs FC Emmen Predictions and Free Tips from our expert tipsters when the teams go head-to-head in Dutch Eredivisie on Saturday, 28 January 2023.
Emmen are on a determined run to make amends for the points they dropped earlier in the season. However, their form on the road is a cause to worry for fans.
Waalwijk do have a game in hand, but they will have to start converting some of their draws into wins. European qualification hangs in the balance otherwise.
Goals have always come in consistently between the two squads. In fact, four of the past five clashes had goals from either side of the pitch, and so did six of the last nine.
Going on, Waalwijk are unbeaten at this ground in the last six years.
Emmen are a team that were promoted to the top flight at the end of the last season, and they also have a 100% losing record on the road barring a single draw.
On the other hand, Waalwijk have an unbeaten record in h2h clashes at this venue in the past six years, and they lost just twice at this ground all through this season. Both the defeats came against titans – Ajax, and AZ Alkmaar.
Likely, chances are quite high for a Waalwijk win.
For all their heroics, Waalwijk have a single clean sheet at home this season, while only a single team conceded more goals than Emmen on the road in the entire campaign. On top of that goals came in plenty in past h2h clashes too.
Likely, anticipate a high-scoring affair this weekend.
Waalwijk are desperate to close down the gap to the cut-off for European qualification, while Emmen are determined to stay above the relegation cut-off. Both teams are not doing well in terms of defense, and previous h2h clashes also suggest the same thing.
Moreover, seldom have these two teams kept clean sheets this season in the league. The possibility of goals coming from either side of the pitch is quite high this Saturday.
Waalwijk have the superior h2h record at this venue in the last six years, and they have also been the much better team comparatively in the league in 2022-23. In fact, they have a 100% unbeaten record in Eredivisie games at home this season, barring their losses against titans Ajax, and AZ.
On the other hand, Emmen have a 100% losing record on the road, barring a single fixture. And moreover, they are a team that were promoted to the top flight only at the end of the last season.
They are barely staying above the relegation cut-off at the moment, and are in no shape to deliver a meaningful performance this Saturday. Likely, expect a victory for Waalwijk this Saturday at their home, and the odds for that are placed at an attractive 2.20.
Coming to goals, either team has been struggling with their defense, and have seldom kept clean sheets throughout the campaign. On top of that, goals have come in plenty in previous h2h encounters over the years.
The probability of the clash turning into a high-scoring game is very high. Go for the Over 2.5 Match Goals wager, placed at an odd of 2.00.
