Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
After dropping two points in a 1-1 draw with Fortuna Sittard, Feyenoord will be aiming to climb to the Champions League berth when they take on RKC Waalwijk on Matchday 15. The Rotterdammers are after their third consecutive win on the road and they are seen as hot favourites to pick up all three points from Saturday’s encounter. Fit-again Mexico ace Santiago Gimenez is pushing for a recall to the starting XI, while both Hugo Bueno and Ayase Ueda are out of contention with injuries for the away team.
RKC, on the other hand, are on a three-game winless run in the Dutch top flight and given their negative head-to-record against Feyenoord, away win should be considered. You should know that Feyenoord have defeated RKC Waalwijk in each of their last five meetings in the Eredivisie. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of Saturday’s clash.
Highlighted Team (Feyenoord):
Back in 1908 football club Wilhemina was founded in the pub De Vereeniging and they played their home games in blue-sleeved red shirts and white shorts. The club’s name was changed to Hillesluise in 1909 and soon they became RVV Celeritas.
Finally, in 1912 the club got a name SC Feijenoord. Feyenoord won their first Eredivisie trophy in 1924 and 75 years later they clinched their 14th domestic trophy, finishing the season 15 points clear of second-placed Willem II. De Trots van Zuid play their home games at De Kuip and the capacity of the venue is 51 117.
The club’s fiercest rivals are Ajax and the two teams face each other in der Klassieker. The likes of Craig Bellamy, Gerrard Fox, Wouter Bos and Raemon Sluiter are notable supporters of the club. It is well known that football legends Johan Cruyff, Ruud Gullit and Peter Houtman all played for Feyenoord in the past. De Trots van Zuid play their home games in red-white shirts and black shorts.
