In the upcoming match between NEC Nijmegen and RKC Waalwijk, we can expect an interesting clash between two teams with contrasting recent forms.
RKC Waalwijk, the away team, typically does not get much support from the home crowd. Additionally, they will be coming into this match with their defensive line showing signs of weakness, especially when playing away from home. On the other hand, NEC Nijmegen, the home team, also have defensive issues to address as they have been struggling in that area, even when playing at home.
Looking at the history between these two teams, we can anticipate a high-scoring affair. However, based on recent performances, NEC Nijmegen, under the guidance of Rogier Meijer, seem to have a better chance of securing all three points in this match. On the other hand, Henk Fraser's RKC Waalwijk will find it challenging to navigate this difficult away fixture.
Despite the recent struggles in defense for both teams, RKC Waalwijk has managed to pick up points in their last two matches. However, NEC Nijmegen seems to have the upper hand in terms of current form, which could work in their favor.
Interestingly, the last direct encounters between these teams have seen one victory for the away team, RKC Waalwijk. This adds an element of unpredictability to the upcoming match.
Statistically, NEC Nijmegen has been averaging 1.4 goals per game, slightly higher than RKC Waalwijk's average of 1.2 goals per game. This could indicate that NEC Nijmegen might have the edge in terms of scoring opportunities.
Overall, with the home advantage and a slightly better defensive record compared to RKC Waalwijk, NEC Nijmegen might be considered the favorites in this match. However, football is unpredictable, and anything can happen on the day of the game. The result will ultimately depend on how both teams perform on the field and their ability to capitalize on scoring chances.
