RKC Waalwijk preview: Still waiting on their first win in the league
After eight losses in a row since to start the new Eredivisie season, RKC Waalwijk have finally ended that awful streak with a draw against Twente, but then went on and lost their next game against NAC Breda last weekend. So, with just one point from 10 games, they are dead-last in the standings. On a positive note, RKC did beat Vitesse in the Dutch Cup in the meantime.
Meanwhile, Nouri El Harmazi and Michiel Kramer are considered doubtful for this match, while Faissal Al Mazyani has to serve a suspension.
Predicted lineup: Van Osch (GK), Wouters, Van den Buijs, Van Eijma, Van Gelderen, Oukili, Weidmann, Lokesa, Van de Loo, Cleonise & Zawada
