Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Fortuna Sittard Stadion will host Saturday’s football game between Fortuna Sittard and RKC Waalwijk. The hosts aim to put an end to their four-game winless run and they are seen as hot favourites to beat RKC in front of home fans. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Alen Halilovic, who provided two assists for his teammates in a 2-2 draw with Heracles.
Henk Fraser’s men, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-2 loss to Feyenoord and given their negative record at Fortuna Sittard Stadion, home win should be considered. You should know that Fortuna defeated RKC 1-0 in their last meeting at the venue, with Tijjani Noslin scoring the only goal of the match. The likes of Familia-Castillo, Van Osch, and El Harmazi are out of contention with injuries for the away team.
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.
