Betting Insights
- The bookmakers make RKC Waalwijk 1.53 favourites to win against Jong FC Utrecht 5.4, but we feel the visitors are good value to come away with at least a point.
- Jong will press forward in this game and RKC will play on the break, so we should see plenty of goals and the Over 2.5 goals market is just 1.48 at the time of writing.
Prediction
The visitors can certainly nick the win in this fixture, but given RKC are the favorites we are backing them to just hold on by a one-goal margin in what should be a very lively, end-to-end fixture.
