An important duel in the bottom section of the Eredivisie, with both RKC Waalwijk and FC Emmen experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 15th and the visitors in 18th place.
- RKC Waalwijk has the fewest matches over the total-line (5) in Eredivisie
- FC Emmen has the most conceded goals (50) in Eredivisie
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
1-3-6 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for FC Emmen when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those ten matches are 7-20 (scored/conceded).
RKC Waalwijk form and stats
With 1 Eredivisie win, 4 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, RKC Waalwijk are certainly not brimming with confidence. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in ten attempts.
RKC Waalwijk travelled for their previous game, a trip to PEC Zwolle that ended 1-1. 1-1 away at Vitesse before that.
The RKC Waalwijk goalkeeper Kostas Lamprou was crucial in the match against PEC Zwolle last time out, making seven saves.
The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Waalwijk handle that role? We have found five games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are zero wins, two draws and three defeats.
The RKC Waalwijk fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 10 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 17 goals have been conceded.
FC Emmen form and stats
There's been little loot from FC Emmen's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 10 away games in the Eredivisie. FC Emmen, who have the most conceded goals (50) in Eredivisie, only have 0 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 3 draws. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved FC Emmen have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone ten consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the PSV game. FC Emmen are desperate to end a 21-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the VVV-Venlo fixture.
FC Emmen are looking to quickly end their 392 minutes long goal drought in the Eredivisie.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Eredivisie home defeat versus AZ with 0-1 on the scoreboard. A 0-2 defeat away at Willem II before that.
Emmen are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, four draws and nine defeats. From a total of 15 matches.
