RKC Waalwijk form and stats

2 victories, 1 draw and 2 defeats. That’s what RKC Waalwijk have to build on here at Mandemakers Stadion in the Eredivisie.

The RKC Waalwijk supporters enjoyed the previous match, watching their team host Willem II in KNVB Beker and win 3-0. Iliass Bel Hassani, a forward, was the best performer for the side in that fixture, collecting a rating of 7.85 (out of 10). Hassani scored one goal and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Ahead of that match, Waalwijk won a home game hosting Sparta Rotterdam (1-0).

This is expected to be a close game, with Waalwijk perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with RKC Waalwijk as a small favourite), we find eleven games. RKC Waalwijk has won five of these, drawn two and lost four.

Waalwijk are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 5 goals in 5 games. On the other hand, Waalwijk have conceded 5 goals.

SC Cambuur form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team, who have the most conceded goals (25) in Eredivisie, on their Eredivisie travels is 1 win, 0 draws and 3 defeats. It's a growing despair in SC Cambuur as they have recorded three consecutive losses.

It's the second away game in a row for Cambuur, but there's smiles all around after the 5-0 victory versus Ajax Amateurs in the KNVB Beker last time out. As you can tell from the results above, Cambuur was very dominant against Ajax Amateurs, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 5-0 (!) with Nick Doodeman, Erik Schouten and Filip Krastev providing the goals. Attacker Roberts Uldriķis got a player rating of 8.34 in the game. "Man of the match" Uldriķis hit the woodwork once, signed up for two assists and hit three key passes.

The game before that, in the Eredivisie, was lost at home, a 2-3 defeat against Feyenoord.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found three similar matches played by SC Cambuur in our archives, and the results are: three wins for Cambuur, zero draws and zero defeats.

Cambuur are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 5 away goals from 4 games (in the league). Cambuur can't defend away. 14 goals have been scored by the opposition in 4 matches, an average of more than three per game. You might want to look at the total goal statistics, which can be found on the Statistics tab above.
