RKC Waalwijk (home)
- RKC Waalwijk are unbeaten at home in Eerste Divisie 2025-2026, winning one and drawing two of their opening three matches at Mandemakers Stadion, an encouraging sign for those looking for an informed RKC Waalwijk vs ADO Den Haag prediction.
- Sander Duits, appointed as RKC Waalwijk head coach in July 2025, appears to have got the balance right for his pragmatic side, who sit fourth in the division.
- RKC tend to line up in a narrow 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 formation, which allows them to be compact and difficult to break down, while they can also get bodies behind the ball quickly to win the second balls on counters and get their pacey forwards into open space on the counter.
ADO Den Haag (away)
- ADO Den Haag are in red-hot form, winning each of their last five matches in Eerste Divisie 2025-2026, including their three previous away games, where they picked up two wins and a draw. Our RKC Waalwijk vs ADO Den Haag preview highlights this impressive run.
- ADO Den Haag have scored 2.00 goals per game on the road in Eerste Divisie 2025-2026, but have also conceded 1.00.
- The tactical contrast could be greater in this matchup against Robin Peter’s ADO Den Haag, as he has already got his own philosophy across to the squad in his short time in charge, taking over in July 2025.
- Peter’s side will line up in a fluid 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 and their style of play is all about ball dominance, high pressing, midfield overloads and getting bodies into the box, which should make for an interesting contrast with the more structured RKC and influence the RKC Waalwijk vs ADO Den Haag prediction.
Key Players
Daouda Weidmann has made a great start to the campaign for RKC, scoring two goals in four Eerste Divisie 2025-2026 appearances, but ADO Den Haag’s Evan Rottier is in even better form, netting three times in five games and providing almost half of his side’s goals across the last eight matches.
Betting Insights
- The form of the two sides heading into this Friday’s encounter appears to tell the whole story, but we’re still going for a home win at odds of +210, with the visitors still only -105. This is factored into the RKC Waalwijk vs ADO Den Haag betting tips for the match.
- However, RKC’s superior structure and discipline should keep them in it, so we’ll take the over 2.5 goals option as our main wager.
Prediction
ADO Den Haag are a much better side on the stats and their relentless run suggests they will take the three points this week.
