RKC Waalwijk Utrecht betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This will be a clash between Eredivisie teams, the top league in the Netherlands, but with very different campaigns this season. Waalwijk, the league's bottom side, has won just 3 of the 20 matches they've played so far, suffering 13 defeats. On the other hand, Utrecht, currently in third place, has won 14 of their 20 matches and boasts an impressive and unbeaten away record with 9 wins and 2 draws from 11 outings. The teams met on 05-10-2024 in the Eredivisie, where Utrecht won 3-2 at home, extending their unbeaten run in head-to-head meetings with Waalwijk to 10 matches, with 5 wins and 5 draws during that period. We expect the difference in quality between the teams to be evident in this KNVB Beker 2024/2025 encounter as well, and therefore, we are backing Utrecht to win the match.

Analysis Waalwijk

Waalwijk aims to make history in the KNVB Beker 2024/2025 as it has never had a standout run in the national cup. In the current edition, their debut came on 30-10-2024, when they defeated Vitesse 3-1 at home. In the previous round, on 17-12-2024, Waalwijk, again at home, triumphed 4-1 over Cambuur. Interestingly, this was their last win, as since then, on 20-12-2024, they drew 1-1 at home with Zwolle, and in their most recent match, on 11-01-2025, they lost 2-1 away to Ajax, both Eredivisie fixtures, in which Waalwijk currently sits at the bottom of the league in 18th place. Therefore, their main focus is to avoid relegation from the national championship. Across the season, Waalwijk has played 20 matches, securing 3 wins, 4 draws, and 13 losses, scoring 26 goals and conceding 45. At home, they have 11 performances, with 3 wins, 2 draws, 6 losses, 16 goals scored, and 20 conceded. Coach Henk Fraser may make changes to his starting lineup, which typically follows a 4-2-3-1 formation, but midfielder Mohamed Ihhataren, who has scored 2 goals and provided 1 assist in 12 appearances, is expected to feature. The team’s absentees include goalkeeper Yannick van Osch, defender Dario Van den Buijs, left-back Juan Familia-Castillo, and midfielders Daouda Weidmann and Richard van der Venne, all sidelined due to injuries.

Confirmed Lineup: Jeroen Houwen, Liam Van Gelderen, Roshon van Eijma, Faissal Al Mazyani, Luuk Wouters, Tim van de Loo, Mohammed Ihattaren, Yassin Oukili, Sylvester van de Water, Richonell Margaret, Oskar Zawada.
Coach: H. Fraser.

Analysis Utrecht

Utrecht dreams of a fourth KNVB Beker title after previous wins in 1984/1985, 2002/2003, and 2003/2004. Additionally, they have reached three other finals, with the last opportunity in 2019/2020 when the final against Feyenoord was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In the current edition, Utrecht made their debut on 31-10-2024, winning 1-2 away against Lisse. In the last round, on 18-12-2024, they delivered a historic 0-8 victory away against AFC. To boost their motivation, the team arrives with a 1-2 away win over Feyenoord on 12-01-2025, although they lost 2-5 at home to Fortuna Sittard on 22-12-2024, both Eredivisie fixtures, where they currently sit in 3rd place. Overall, Utrecht has played 20 matches this season, securing 14 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses, with 46 goals scored and 30 conceded. Interestingly, their away form has been even stronger, remaining unbeaten after 11 matches with 9 wins and 2 draws, scoring 29 goals and conceding 10. Head coach Ron Jans may make adjustments to his starting lineup, which typically follows a 4-2-3-1 formation, but midfielder Paxter Aaronson, who has scored 6 goals and provided 3 assists in 20 appearances, is expected to feature. Veteran defender Nick Viergever, 35, is also anticipated to play a crucial role. The only absentee is forward Noah Ohio, who is sidelined with a foot injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Michael Brouwer, Kolbeinn Finnsson, Nick Viergever, Siebe Horemans, Matisse Didden, A. Engwanda, Paxten Aaronson, Zidane Iqbal, Miguel Rodríguez, Yoann Cathline, David Min.
Coach: H. Fraser.
