Friday night also brings us action from the Dutch top flight and a clash between Waalwijk and Twente as the betting tips continue at the Mandemakers Stadion.
Waalwijk Prediction – Can Waalwijk turn things around?
Following back-to-back defeats in recent matches in the Dutch Eredivisie, Friday night’s hosts, Waalwijk, still remain firmly rooted to the bottom of the domestic top flight having succumbed to further losses against Heerenveen 3-1 at home and a 3-2 loss away at Fortuna Sittard.
Although the regular season has only reached the halfway stage, Waalwijk’s current situation looks almost hopeless as the newly promoted side from last season’s Eerste Divisie have gained only 8 points so far this season and already find themselves 8 points adrift of fourth from bottom club, PEC Zwolle, and safety.
Waalwijk have managed to register just 2 wins out of their 17 matches so far in what has been a miserable campaign for the hosts, while their record on home turf at their Mandemakers Stadion reads a woeful looking 1-1-6 7/16.
Overall, Waalwijk possess the worst defensive record in the Eredivisie, so the win market looks a no-go zone, but 5 of Waalwijk’s 8 home matches so far this term have resulted in over 2.5 goals, so the goals markets look the best option.
Twente Prediction – Can Twente break out of slump?
Given Waalwijk’s extremely poor campaign so far in this season’s Dutch top flight, there’s every chance that visitors, Twente, can return to winning ways at the expense of their struggling hosts on Friday night as Twente look to end a run of 4 matches without a win in the Eredivisie.
Recent losses to VV Venlo 2-1, Ajax 5-2 and Vitesse 3-0 have prevented Twente from putting further daylight between themselves and the relegation zone but this upcoming clash against this struggling Waalwijk outfit looks to be the perfect chance for the visitors to grab all three points.
Following 4 defeats out of their last 5 matches on the road, this would certainly be welcome for Twente who have posted a below-par away record of 2-2-4 9/15 so far this term on their travels, and again, the straight win market looks risky for the visitors here.
Nevertheless, 6 of Twente’s 8 away matches have also resulted in over 2.5 goals so this looks the way to go here.
