RKC Waalwijk vs Sparta Rotterdam
Dutch eredivisie
Date: Saturday, November 7, 2024
Starts at 20pm UK
Venue: Mandemakers Stadium, Waalwijk.

The battle of the fighters is this Saturday night in Waalwijk, where RKC host Sparta Rotterdam.

Judging from the early days, these two teams will be heavily involved in the relegation battle in the Eredivisie.

Had the previous season not been suspended, RKC would have already been a member of the Eerste Divisie.

The team seems to be doing a little better this time around, having amassed five points from seven games.

Sparta Rotterdam is one of the biggest disappointments so far, being in the relegation zone.

Despite this, the odds are slightly in your favor, priced at 2,40 to win this match.

RKC Waalwijk vs Sparta Rotterdam Prediction

The hosts have not changed their squad much compared to the previous season, when they were the weakest team in the league. Personally, we look forward to the downfall of this team in the coming months.

RKC's only win so far was on the road against Heracles 1-0 FT. However, one of the best performances was the 2-2 home draw against Feyenoord.

Manager Fred Grim again had a major headache due to inefficiency as his team scored just five times in seven games.

Sparta Rotterdam has slightly better offensive numbers, but the situation when it comes to defense is alarming. They have conceded 17 goals so far, which is almost 2,50 per game. The last five games in competitions have ended the BTTS for them, so we feel comfortable betting on that option for Saturday's clash.
