RKC Waalwijk and FC Emmen last met in April last year, when RKC Waalwijk thrashed them 5-0 at home, and before that it was also RKC Waalwijk who tended to have the upper hand at home. This time, though, the shape of both teams is quite different from before, especially FC Emmen's form, which has started the season better than the hosts. RKC Waalwijk have played 8 league games, won 3, drawn 4, lost 1, scored 18 and conceded 11. Their attack is still serviceable, but their defence has stuttered at times. FC Emmen, meanwhile, have won 5 and lost 3, scored 18 and conceded 17. They are a team that opens up and trades blows, with a dangerous attack, but their defence is not particularly solid. The hosts lost 0-2 in their last match, while the visitors won 1-0. This game should be open and end-to-end, because both sides look likely to score, and RKC Waalwijk as the home team will probably be the one forced to push forward, while FC Emmen will likely wait for counter-attacking chances and use the pace of their forwards to score.
