PSV to win it whilst bagging goals
We kick off our predictions for PSV vs RKC Waalwijk by backing the home side to run out as winners – and we expect them to score at least three goals. Their form hasn't actually been that good of late with just two wins in their last five matches but Waalwijk have only managed to win one of their past five games. That said, we should note that Waalwijk have drawn a lot of games. The real clincher for a home win though comes from the head to head record where PSV have won each of the last five meetings with three of them featuring at least three PSV goals and they haven't lost to Waalwijk since way back in 2014.
We'll see goals at both ends
Our next tip for this game is that we will see both teams score. PSV have been free scoring of late with 15 goals scored across their past four games. They have also conceded in each of those games shipping a total of five in that four game period. Where Waalwijk are concerned, they have blanked in just one of their last five games but, notably, have conceded in all of them. You also have the head to head form to consider; of the last five meetings between these sides three have seen goals at both ends of the pitch.

Can PSV live up to the bookies expectations
PSV are huge favourites in the eyes of the bookmakers, which whilst probably a tad disrespectful to a RKC Waalwijk side that have started the season so well themselves is a tag that could suit the visitors. They'll be happy enough to let PSV deal with the pressure of ‘having' to win the game whilst knowing a point for them would be terrific.
PSV might have started the season in decent enough shape but their physios have been pretty busy as well with a fair few injuries racking up. Noni Madueke and Mauro Junior are two of six that will definitely miss out on this game whilst Luuk de Jong and Fred Oppegard are doubts.
PSV Predicted lineup – Benitez, Mwene, Teze, Obispo, Max, Veerman, Simons, Sangare, Saibari, Vertessen, Gakpo
Waalwijk could close the gap on PSV to three points with a win here with that scenario also likely to see them jump into the European places. It's not going to be an easy task though with PSV a tough away day. One positive note is that they arrive in the game with absolutely no known injury concerns.
RKC Waalwijk Predicted lineup – Vaessen, Lelieveld, Gaari, Lutonda, van den Buijs, Adewoye, Anita, Clement, Hassani, Kramer, Jozefzoon
