Your Web 3 Guru and Moonbet presenting todays match: Go Ahead Eagles – RKC Waalwijk
Since 1979, Go Ahead Eagles has not finished in the top half of the Eredivisie, but if they win against RKC Waalwijk on Saturday evening, the team will surpass Ajax and be in fifth place in the league. René Hake’s team saw their streak of five unbeaten matches (W3, D2) come to an end last weekend by losing 3-0 to FC Twente, but that doesn’t change the positive atmosphere surrounding the team.
The Eagles have struggled against RKC as opponents at the Adelaarshorst in recent years. Although the last home match against Waalwijkers resulted in three points, the three editions before that were all lost, and in total, Go Ahead conceded thirteen goals in those four matches. Now that the Eagles have failed to win their last five home matches in the Eredivisie (D3, L2), the fans are longing for the home form of the first months of the season. After all, the team won five out of the first six home matches of this campaign (D1).
RKC Waalwijk
The visitors from Waalwijk are having a very tough season and are rightfully in the danger zone. Henk Fraser’s team lost three of the last four matches without scoring (W1) and has only managed to win two out of the last sixteen matches overall (D3, L11). With fourteen losses in the last seventeen away matches (W2, D1), the form on the road is also not promising.
RKC’s matches this season often revolve around penalties. No other club has caused more penalties this season (6), but except for PSV and Fortuna Sittard, the team has also been awarded the most penalties (5). Aaron Meijers plays a big role in this, as he is one of only three players in the Eredivisie to have caused multiple penalties and also one of only four players to have received six yellow cards in the league.
Hot Stats
Players to watch: RKC is the only Eredivisie club where right-back Mats Deijl has scored twice in his career. Captain Michiel Kramer has scored a total of four times in his last four matches against Go Ahead.
Hot stat: RKC has failed to keep a clean sheet in eighteen of the last nineteen away matches.
