If we analyze the last 5 rounds, then only one decent match against Groningen (3-1) can be added to Waalwijk's asset. The team lost the remaining four games, upsetting the opponents’ goalkeepers only two times. Moreover, the Yellow-Blues left the field without goals scored in the matches versus Sparta Rotterdam (2-0) and Ajax (0-1).
The opponents do not shine with high performance in the current Eredivisie draw. The hosts have 31 goals scored, and the visitors have four less. If we compare these teams with the rest of the major league participants, then only Den Haag's attack is worse (22), and Emmen’s indicators (30) are approximately similar. What can we say if the top scorer of Waalwijk, Stokkers (five goals) last hit the opponents' net back in December 2020? And the best sniper of Willem II Pavlidis (seven goals) scored only two times in three and a half months of this year. The most recent head-to-head confrontation between the clubs ended in a 1-1 draw. Considering the problems of both teams in the attack, there is no need to expect a hail of goals in the upcoming match either. Moreover, both clubs are in close proximity to the relegation zone and will play with an emphasis on defense.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 goals scored
