Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Fortuna Sittard and RKC Waalwijk square off against each other at Fortuna Sittard Stadion on day 15 of the new Eredivisie campaign. Fortuna have been producing fine displays at home this season, with the team eyeing their third consecutive win in front of home fans, but they will have to showcase their worth on the field. Danny Buijs has a full squad to choose from for Sunday’s encounter.
Waalwijk, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team losing to Go Ahead Eagles, beating Zwolle, while sharing the spoils with Excelsior in their last league match. RKC have already suffered four defeats on the road this season and we do not believe that they are capable of grabbing something from the match. In their last meeting in the Dutch top flight RKC Waalwijk defeated Fortuna Sittard 3-1, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
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.
