RKC vs Twente Predictions

• 11pts separate RKC from 12th placed Twente heading into Friday’s clash.
• The hosts are the form favourites but both teams have lost more games than they have won of late.
• When the pair met for their reverse league fixture in August they played out a thrilling 3-3 draw.
• A win for RKC wouldn’t lift them off the bottom but it would take their points tally into double figures.

Neither sides’ defence has covered themselves in glory of late

Twente have only lost one of their last seven matches against RKC and the pair have drawn four times during that period. Both teams scored and over 2.5 goals were produced in three of the last four meetings between these two clubs, so you can begin to see why we are backing goals to be scored in Friday’s clash.

RKC have picked up 4pts from their last three home games while Twente have picked up 1pt from their last three away games, and neither team head into Friday’s match in the best of form. Both teams scored and over 2.5 goals were produced in three of RKC’s last five matches as well as in three of Twente’s last five matches, adding more weight to our prediction for Friday’s head to head.

RKC have conceded 10 goals in their last six matches and Twente have conceded 14 goals in their last six outings, and with both defences letting in goals on a regular basis, a 2-2 draw certainly isn’t out of the question this Friday. RKC have only won once at home this season and Twente have only won twice on the road, making a draw the more probably result between the pair on Friday.

The hosts have improved of late but don’t have the best of records against Twente

RKC average 0.50 points per home game and Twente average 1.00 points per away game, which points towards a draw being the most likely result when these two clubs lock horns on Friday. The hosts concede an average of 2.00 goals per home game and the visitors concede an average of 1.88 goals per away game, which is why we have settled for a final scoreline of 2-2.

62% of RKC’s home games have produced over 2.5 goals as have 75% of Twente’s away games and 62% of RKC’s home games and Twente’s away games have seen both teams score, providing even more reasons to back our prediction for Friday nights’ Eredivisie clash.

We’re confident that both teams will score and over 2.5 goals will be produced on Friday night and we have predicted a final scoreline of 2-2. Both teams have been struggling for form but RKC have made the most improvements over the last month or so. However, with each defence conceding too many goals of late we feel that the most likely result this weekend is a 2-2 draw.
