Your Web 3 Guru and Moonbet presenting todays match: Feyenoord Rotterdam – RKC Waalwijk
In the 22nd round of the Eredivisie, Feyenoord will be the home team, in the midst of the ‘month of truth’. Coach Arne Slot‘s team is busy on three fronts, gearing up for the big Eredivisie match on March 3 against league leaders PSV. The task for the home game against RKC Waalwijk is twofold: to reduce the gap to ten points and to keep third-placed FC Twente at least five points behind.
This season, Feyenoord has reached the group stage of the UEFA Champions League for the first time in a long while and aims to extend that success by securing second place in the final standings. In the UEFA Europa League, the Rotterdam side drew 1-1 against AS Roma on Thursday. With the return leg in Italy set for the following Thursday. Exactly one week later, they play the cup semi-final at home against FC Groningen, a team from a lower division.
RKC Waalwijk
RKC Waalwijk, Feyenoord‘s opponent, ended an eight-game streak without a win (G3, L5) last weekend. Coach Henk Fraser‘s team has slipped to sixteenth place in the Eredivisie, with 18 points and a six-point gap over Volendam and Vitesse, who faced each other earlier on Sunday afternoon.
The sixteenth place obliges an Eredivisie club to play relegation play-offs after 34 rounds. It’s a series of four matches, a life-or-death situation, one that every professional football club would prefer to avoid. The differences at the bottom of the table are very small. With even the eighth-placed team, PEC Zwolle, not yet assured of avoiding relegation with just nine points ahead of RKC Waalwijk after 21 rounds. RKC will face seven direct rivals in their next seven matches.
