RKC Waalwijk
FC Groningen demolished RKC Waalwijk 6-1 in their Dutch Eredivisie clash at the Euroborg. The home side, playing in a 4-2-3-1 formation, were clinical in front of goal, converting a high percentage of their 22 shots, 12 of which were on target. Leandro Bacuna opened the scoring with an early penalty, setting the tone for Groningen's dominance. Stije Resink bagged a brace, while Noam Emeran, Thom Van Bergen, and Mats Seuntjens also found the net, compounding Waalwijk's misery. RKC Waalwijk, in a 5-3-2, struggled to contain Groningen's attack, despite having more possession (55.8%). Godfried Roemeratoe's goal offered little consolation.
The AI prediction favored an FC Groningen win, which proved accurate. However, the scoreline vastly exceeded expectations of a balanced game. Groningen's recent form is looking strong at home, having scored four against Heracles in their previous home game. Their upcoming away match against AZ Alkmaar will be a sterner test. Alkmaar is tough to beat at home, though they are currently on a poor run of form with several draws and losses.
RKC Waalwijk, on the other hand, are struggling, with a string of losses and draws preceding this heavy defeat. Their next game against Heerenveen is crucial for morale. Heerenveen, despite some recent wins, have also shown vulnerability, making it a potentially tight contest. Looking at previous head-to-head matches, Groningen have often found it difficult against RKC, with the reverse fixture earlier this season ending 2-1 in favour of Groningen. Waalwijk's recent performance has been poor losing their last 2 games and 4 out of their last 5, conceding 10 goals in that period.
