Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-3
Ajax
After dropping two points in a 1-1 draw with Go Ahead Eagles, Ajax will be aiming to return to winning ways when they face RKC in the Eredivisie round 7. The Amsterdammers are eager to melt PSV’s advantage in the standings and they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Sunday’s showdown. Steven Berghuis remains in the recovery room and, in his absence, a man to watch in the away team will be summer signing Wout Weghorst.
The hosts, on the other hand, do not seem to be competitive at this level, with the team losing each of their six league fixtures. Given RKC’s difficulties at the back, we predict that Ajax will return to winning ways in the Eredivisie this weekend. To make things even worse for the home side, forward Michiel Kramer is banned for the match, while defender Roshon van Eijma is a major doubt after limping off with injury at the weekend.
Highlighted Player (Steven Berghuis):
Born in Apeldoorn, Netherlands on December 19, 1991, Steven Berghuis is a Dutch winger who plays for Ajax in the Eredivisie. Berghuis played for the likes of Vitesse/AGOVV, WSV Apeldoorn, and Go Ahead Eagles during his youth career before joining Twente in 2009.
The 183-cm-tall footballer continued playing for the Reds at senior level. After ending his loan spell with VVV-Venlo, Steven Berghuis joined AZ Alkmaar in the summer of 2012, and three years later signed a deal with the Premier League club Watford. After making no more than nine appearances in the English top flight, Berghuis moved to Feyenoord in August 2016, and he has been playing De club aan de Maas ever since.
His main position is right winger, but he is capable of producing fine displays as both left winger and attacking midfielder as well. He made his Netherlands debut on May 27, 2016 in a 1-1 draw with the Republic of Ireland.
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.
