RKC Waalwijk will hope to utilise their home advantage to help bridge the gap to today’s opponents. The home side are currently 15 points behind PSV.
- RKC Waalwijk has the most matches under the total-line (9) in Eredivisie
- PSV have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded.
PSV could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a KNVB Beker game only three sleeps ago. That game, against Graafschap, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for PSV.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting PSV have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 8-2-0 (win-draw-loss) from ten matches.
RKC Waalwijk form and stats
RKC Waalwijk's results here at Mandemakers Stadion in the Eredivisie have been very modest with 1 victory, 3 draws and 2 defeats.
Waalwijk lost their last game at FC Groningen (placed 5th) after a 0-2 scoreline. Before that, Waalwijk had a home game versus VVV-Venlo which ended with a victory 3-2.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Waalwijk as they are travelling to their away game against Fortuna Sittard in the Eredivisie. That match is three days after this one.
The Waalwijk fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 6 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 9 goals have been conceded.
PSV form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Eredivisie travels is 2 wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat. Two points from the last two away games for PSV, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.
Two travels in a row for PSV, whose manager R. Schmidt could celebrate last time after the KNVB Beker win against Graafschap. That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus FC Utrecht in the Eredivisie.
After this away game PSV return home for a Eredivisie game against VVV-Venlo. That game is only three sleeps after this.
The travelling fans enjoy PSV's attacking play in away games, having scored 11 goals in 6 league matches away. PSV have conceded 7 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: four wins for RKC Waalwijk, zero draws and six wins for PSV. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: four games.Top Goalscorers
