Dec 5th features a match where RKC Waalwijk will play host to NEC in a clash of these two mismatched Eredivisie teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cold day, and temperatures reaching a maximum of only 2 degrees, making for an unpleasant day. RKC Waalwijk is fresh off their 0-0 scoreless draw against PEC Zwolle. PEC Zwolle had 10 on net, and RKC Waalwijk had 5, but no one could beat the goalie, and the game ended in a 0-0 draw,. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 4 of their last 10, while in their last match, 9th placed NEC, recorded a 2-3 loss against SC Cambuur. Jamie Jacobs scored the first goal for SC Cambuur in the 17th minute, then Édgar Barreto tied it up for NEC in the 31st minute , but SC Cambuur kept scoring and walked away with the win. NEC is looking for direction having 3 win and 4 losses in their last 10 matches.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season.
Both Tavsan and Ali Akman have been the hottest scorers for NEC in the last five each having scored 3 goals each. Saïd Bakari and Finn Stokkers are the top scorers for RKC Waalwijk in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats
Joseph Oosting’s squad will be without Richard van der Venne, Dario Van Den Buijs, Alexander Büttner and Min, while Rogier Meijer’s squad will be without Jonathan Okita, Rens van Eijden, Tavsan, , De Wolf and Pedro Ruiz.
