Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Waalwijk
Match Time & Date:

14:30
Prediction: 2-1
Zwolle
RKC Waalwijk will be aiming to escape the danger zone when they welcome Zwolle to their Mandemakers Stadion on Matchday 33. RKC rolled over Heracles 5-0 at the weekend and, as a result, the odds for home win have been dropping. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be David Min, who scored a hat-trick against Heracles, while defender Jurien Gaari serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards.
Zwolle, on the other hand, suffered a heavy 5-0 loss to Feyenoord at De Kuip. Considering that the visitors head into Sunday’s clash with the lack of motivation, we predict that the relegation-threatened hosts are going to pick up vital three points from the match. To make things even more complicated for the visiting side, defender Anouar El Azzouzi is banned for the match. Fit-again midfielder Dave Van Den Berg is pushing for a start.
Highlighted Team (Waalwijk):
RKC Waalwijk is a Dutch club that competes in the Eredivisie. RKC returned to the Dutch top flight in the 2019/20 season, and they were more than fortunate not to suffer relegation back to Eerste Divisie. Fred Grim’s men were stuck at the bottom of the table when the season was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
As a result, they did not drop to the Dutch second tier. RKC play home games at Mandemakers Stadion, the venue which can hold only 7,500 spectators. RKC Waalwijk are well known for their yellow shirts with blue strips, but their away kit is mainly black. The Mandemakers Stadion outfit have never won the national championship.
RKC, though, represented the Netherlands in European competitions in the past, with team taking part in Intertoto Cup on four occasions. Willem II are seen as one of the club’s main rivals, with the two teams facing each other in the Brabantse derby.
