Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: RKC Waalwijk to win either half: YES — 1.63
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Draw in one half: YES — 1.49
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Three: Total goals: Under 2.5 — 1.82
Although RKC Waalwijk head into the game as the favourites, I still believe they are more likely to win in at least one half than to get the win at full-time.
Emmen played a draw in the second half against PSV last time out. RKC Waalwijk at least played draw in one half in two of their last three matches, hence there’s a chance this game could end in a draw in at least one half.
Two of RKC Waalwijk’s last three matches ended with under 2.5 goals. Two of Emmen’s last three matches ended with under 2.5 goals. For this reason, I think this game could end with less than three goals.
Waalwijk are winless in Eredivisie in their last four matches including their goalless draw against Sparta Rotterdam in the midweek. They occupy the 11th position with 19 points after 17 matches.
“>Emmen have won one of their last five Eredivisie matches, the 1-0 win over PSV on Wednesday. They occupy the 15th position with 15 points after 18 matches.
Emmen stunned many when they beat 10 men PSV in the midweek and they have a chance to get something off RKC Waalwijk if they maintain their momentum from the PSV win. However, I expect Waalwijk to get a win or avoid a defeat.
Because both teams are increasingly unlikely to produce more than two goals, I think this could end in a score draw.
I think expecting this game not to exceed three goals at full-time looks safe, given both team’s drab front line.
