Both Teams to Score
When we look at the h2h record for this Utrecht vs RKC Waalwijk prediction, going with the BTTS option makes all the sense in the world. The last six times these teams have met each other in Eredivisie, every game covered this betting option. Looking also at the current stakes for both teams, it is of the utmost importance for RKC to get something from this match, and scoring goals is essential. Utrecht's defense, at the same time, has been erratic at times in the second part of the season thus the guest side will see some opportunities to score.
Over 3.5 Goals
Considering how many goals have been scored in this Utrecht vs RKC Waalwijk matchup, it is not illogical to go with the big-scoring game in this instance as well. Utrecht has accumulated seven more points than RKC which gives them a certain edge, but the hosts also had some tough losses in the latter part of the season when they conceded plenty of goals. RKC is tied for the most over 3.5 goals matches this season with Ajax, the average of goals scored during their matches is 3.3 goals per contest while Utrecht is at three per game which is relevant because that number rose after the new year. Relevant information in this instance is that RKC had three out of the last five games with over 3.5 goals while Utrecht had only one in the same span of matches.

Match Preview, Utrecht vs RKC Waalwijk Lineups, and Team News
Utrecht
The hosts have been doing a good job in the final few weeks of the season countering the bad run of form since the start of the second stage of the Eredivisie season. They have won three matches from the last four outings and will be looking to add some more points to keep gaining momentum for the European placement playoffs that will follow after the regular season is completed. Ramon Hendriks, Calvin Raatsie, and Django Warmerdam are injured while Taylor Booth is suspended.
Potential lineup: Barkas, Klaiber, van der Hoorn, Viergever, van der Maarel, Toornstra, van de Streek, Bozdogan, Douvikas, Boussaid, Dost.
RKC Waalwijk
The guest side already achieved more than they could have hoped for at the start of the season, and yet they are in the eighth spot trying to secure a playoff position for European competitions next season. They will have to get important points at some tough stadiums to achieve that feat. Iliass Bel Hassani is doubtful for the match this weekend.
Potential lineup: Vaessen, Lutonda, Adewoye, Gaari, Lelieveld, Clement, Anita, Oukili, Jozefzoon, Kramer, Seuntjens.
Player to Watch: Can Bozdogan
The German midfielder has been essential for Utrecht in the first part of the season, but he got injured at the crucial stage of the season. He has returned for the final few games of the season and he will be the key for Utrecht in the final games of the season. This year he has scored a goal and delivered five assists in 21 league matches.
