Zwolle vs Waalwijk prediction: NETHERLANDS: Eredivisie betting tips on match 2023-11-25 20:00.
PEC Zwolle began this matchday eighth in the Eredivisie standings and should look back on their season so far with a great deal of pride. The Bluefingers may have lost half of their games (W4, D2) so far with a goal difference of -7, but that shouldn’t spoil the fun as long as they remain in the top half. One or two more goals today could be enough to seal their fifth win of the season.
Opponent RKC Waalwijk sees on average the fewest total goals of all teams in the Eredivisie (28) courtesy of being the lowest scoring team in the competition with just eight to their name. In Zwolle they have mostly positive memories of meetings with the Waalwijk club: PEC has been undefeated against RKC since 2011, with the teams meeting on 11 occasions in the meantime (W4, D7).
It does not seem possible to share the points with their North Brabant opponents on this occasion, because RKC together with PSV started this round as the only two clubs yet to draw a single match. This was also a trend that followed the Waalwijkers around towards the end of last season, meaning they have not seen a draw in 26 consecutive games. RKC started the new season very poorly with four consecutive wins before recording three wins in four matches.
Including the KNVB Cup elimination at the hands of Utrecht, they’re entering this match on a four-game losing streak. The difference is that in this phase they have lost three straight by a single-goal margin compared with the multiple goal margins they were used to earlier in the season. On the road, things have been even more miserable with ten losses from their last 11 outings. But with seven of the last nine H2Hs not producing a winner on the day, something is going to have to give here!
Players to watch: Ferdy Druijff scored in two of his last four appearances against RKC, whilst Denilho Cleonise was involved in a goal in three of his last five matches (G1, A2).
Hot stat: 14 of the 23 league games involving either club this season had a 1-0 half-time result.
