RKC Waalwijk, Recent FormIn the aftermath of a 4-1 away mauling at the hands of Ajax, the RKC Waalwijk team will need to refocus and rebuild confidence among the team. Their share of possession in that meeting was 32%, while racking up 8 shots along the way, 5 of which were on target, in contrast to Ajax, who had 14 shots on goal with 7 on target.
Despite scoring 7 goals in their last 6 matches, they have failed to pick up many points, mainly because their back line have shipped 13 goals in that same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 12 games.
Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 6 games.
On an individual basis, Michiel Kramer will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in RKC Waalwijk's last 6 league games.
Sparta Rotterdam, Recent FormThe Sparta Rotterdam players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Go Ahead Eagles recently, that ended in a 2-0 defeat. In that game they had 59% possession and managed 20 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Go Ahead Eagles who had 7 attempts and 3 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 7 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 8, and leading to valuable points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, and they've kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 6 games on the road.
With 3 defeats and just 2 wins from their last 6 outings, this cannot be regarded as a good run of form.
With 4 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league, Koki Saito has given the travelling Sparta Rotterdam support something to shout about on the road.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was RKC Waalwijk who ended up empty-handed, losing 2-0 to Sparta Rotterdam.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league, RKC have been unable to break through De Kasteelheren's defence and find the back of the net. Playing away from home, Sparta have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against RKC.
In the last 4 league matches against Sparta, RKC have failed to record a victory.
With no real injury worries, RKC manager Henk Fraser will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
There is only really one injury concern for the Sparta manager Jeroen Rijsdijk ahead of this clash, with Koki Saito (Unknown) missing out, which gives Rijsdijk a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
