Waalwijk vs Utrecht: Dutch Cup match prediction

Current form

Waalwijk approached the start of the season as one of the main candidates for relegation from the Eredivisie, inferior in terms of player selection to many competitors. While Henk Fraser team fully justifies this status and closes the tournament table with seven points to its credit, already six points behind the transitional match zone, the situation is gradually becoming critical. In the last round, Waalwijk lost 1:2 away to Ajax, thus suffering its 13th defeat of the season.

Disqualifications and injuries

Van Osch and Castillo are injured.

Interesting trends for betting

• Waalwijk have only won one of their last eight matches.
• Waalwijk have not beaten Utrecht in their last 10 matches - five defeats and five draws

Estimated line-up: Kesting - Al Mazuani, Van Gelderen, Wouters, Meyers - Rumeratu, Ukili, Van Der Waterl, Ihattaren, Margaret - Kramer.

Current form

Before the start of the season, Utrecht was among the contenders for a place in the top eight, but was not among the teams capable of fighting for a place in the top three and a ticket to the Champions League. However, so far, Ron Jans team looks very strong and has become the main discovery of the first round in the Eredivisie, currently occupying third place in the table. Having beaten Feyenoord 2:1 in the last round, Utrecht broke away from the Rotterdam team by four points in the table, but for now such a handicap cannot guarantee anything.

Disqualifications and injuries

The visitors have no problems with their lineup.

Interesting trends for betting

• Utrecht have won three of their last five matches
• Utrecht have scored in their last 11 matches

Probable line-up: Brouwer - Nielsen, Horemans, Van der Hoorn, El-Karaouni - Thornstra, Iqbal, Rodriguez, Aaronson, Katlin - Min.
