After six seasons in a row in Eredivisie, RKC Waalwijk are facing possible relegation. With 11 rounds left, they are a big seven points behind safety. However, RKC Waalwijk's recent form and ten points from the last five matches give them hope of survival. In the last round, RKC Waalwijk broke the positive run with a 2-0 defeat on the road against Twente. The home side finished the match with an xG of 1.70, while the guests had only 0.74, so it is no wonder RKC Waalwijk stayed empty-handed.
More than half of the Dutch national league, including Fortuna Sittard, is in danger of relegation. They have six points more than the drop zone, and every negative run could put them into the relegation dogfight. Fortuna Sittard are on a terrible run, winning only one point in the last six matches. Last weekend, Fortuna Sittard lost 1-0 on the road against AZ Alkmaar. That was one of the best defensive performances from Fortuna Sittard lately, but they still lost.
RKC Waalwijk vs Fortuna Sittard pick: Over 2.5 goals
In the first part of the season, Fortuna Sittard won 3-2 at home against RKC Waalwijk. In one of the season's most exciting games, both teams had numerous goal-scoring chances, and we could see even more goals. We should expect another high-scoring game on Friday night at Mandemakers Stadion in Waalwijk.

Fortuna Sittard are not without problems, either. They will be without Darijo Grujcic, Bojan Radulovic, Ramazan Bayram, and Mattijs Brandehorst. The good news for Fortuna Sittard is that Edouard Michut and Samuel Bastien have recovered and came in as substitutes in the previous Eredivisie round.
