Feyenoord vs Waalwijk Prediction and Betting Tips

Feyenoord will host Waalwijk at the De Kuip on Wednesday in the penultimate round of the 2024-25 Eredivisie regular season. The home side have performed well under new boss Robin Van Persie and now sit third in the table with 65 points from 32 matches.

They suffered a 3-2 defeat to champions PSV Eindhoven last time out, heading into the break two goals up following strikes from Igor Paixao and Givairo Mead before their opponents came from behind to snatch all three points in the second half. De Stadionclub will be keen to return to winning ways in their final home game of the campaign and that should be enough to confirm their spot in next season's UEFA Champions League qualifiers.

Waalwijk, meanwhile, have endured a difficult season with the relegation playoffs being their only chance at salvation. They picked up a 3-1 victory over 10-man Heerenveen in their last match, with goals from Richonell Margaret, Yassin Oukili and Chris Lokesa handing RKC what could be a vital three points in their quest for survival.

The visitors sit 17th in the table and could be relegated to second-tier football for the first time since the 2018-19 season should they fail to pick up a result this week.
