Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
RKC Waalwijk and Twente go head to head at Mandemakers Stadion in the Eredivisie round 33. RKC are only three points clear of the relegation zone, meaning that the midweek clash is of big importance for them. Fred Grim’s troops looked sharp in front of goal in the 3-3 draw with Venlo, and we are positive that they will find the net in Thursday’s clash.
The Reds, on the other hand, are stuck in the middle of the standings, but seeing that they want to keep their Conference League hopes alive, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Attacker Morad El Haddouti should be the only absentee in the home team, while all Cerny, Pierie, and Pleguezuelo are all out of contention through injuries for the visiting team. Keep in mind that 16 goals in total have been netted in the previous four meetings between the two sides.
Highlighted Player (Konstantinos Lamprou):
Konstantinos Lamprou is a Greek goalkeeper who plays for Eredivisie club RKC Waalwijk. Kostas is a product of the famous Ajax football academy, but he eventually decided to join Feyenoord football school. The 178-cm-tall shot-stopper continued playing for Feyenoord at senior level, making 14 league appearances for De Trots van Zuid.
During his spell with Feyenoord, Kostas Lamprou played for the likes of Excelsior and Willem II on loan as well. In 2017 he returned to Ajax, but made no more than three appearances in the Eredivisie with the Amsterdammers.
In the 2019/20 season he did not see any game action with Vitesse, and, as a result, he decided to join RKC Waalwijk at the end of the campaign. Born in Athens on September 18, 1991, Konstantinos Lamprou has 14 caps for the Greece U21 team. He has yet to make his debut with the senior team. His preferred foot is left and he wears the No. 31 shirt at RKC Waalwijk.
Highlighted Team (Twente):
Based in the city of Enschede, Twente is a Dutch football club that welcomes their rivals at De Grolsch Veste. The venue was opened on May 10, 1998, and the capacity of the stadium is 30,205 people. The club was founded in 1965 as a merger of Sportsclub Enschede and Enschedese Boys.
The Reds did remarkably well to win the Eredivisie title in the 2009/10 season, with the team finishing the process only one point clear of Dutch giants Ajax. As a result, Twente booked their place in the Champions League group stages. The Reds did well to collect six points in their group, but that did not help them make it to the last 16.
Twente are well known for their red jerseys, but they wear dark blue shirts when playing on the travels. The Reds take on Heracles Almelo in the Twentse Derby. Sander Boshchker is leading Twente’s all-time goal-scoring chart with 653 goals on his account.
