RKC Waalwijk are welcoming Fortuna Sittard for another important game after their 0-2 result against 3rd-placed PSV.
- RKC Waalwijk has the fewest scored goals (15) in Eredivisie
- All of Fortuna Sittard's away-matches have had more than 1,5 goals.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
3-3-4 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Fortuna Sittard 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 15-16 (scored/conceded).
RKC Waalwijk form and stats
RKC Waalwijk's struggle is real here at Mandemakers Stadion with only 7 points collected from 9 Eredivisie games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-4-4.
RKC Waalwijk lost their last game at PSV (placed 3rd) after a 0-2 scoreline. Before that, Waalwijk drew at home versus Willem II.
This is expected to be a close game, with RKC Waalwijk perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Waalwijk as a small favourite), we find seven games. RKC Waalwijk has won four of these, drawn one and lost two.
The manager F. Grim will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Vitesse in only three days.
The Waalwijk fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 9 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the RKC Waalwijk defense is not exactly impregnable. 15 goals conceded from 9 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Fortuna Sittard form and stats
3-2-4 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Fortuna Sittard in their Eredivisie matches away. Momentum is building for Fortuna in their away games, having won their two previous outings.
The manager S. Ultee was unhappy after their last game, a Eredivisie match played at their home ground Fortuna Sittard Stadion. Fortuna Sittard suffered a 1-2 loss to Ajax (placed 1st). Preceding that game, the 2-3 loss visiting NEC (after extra-time)'s place.
It's a bit worrying for Fortuna that their goalkeeper Yanick van Osch made seven saves in the Ajax game last time out, but still couldn't prevent the loss.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found one similar match played by Fortuna Sittard in our archives, and the results are: zero wins for Fortuna Sittard, one draw and zero defeats.
After this away game Fortuna return home for a Eredivisie game against VVV-Venlo. That game is only three sleeps after this.
