The adaptation of Oscar Fraulo with the new jersey has not been the best. He had another disappointing performance in FC Utrecht last game of the season, against AZ.

RKC Waalwijk analysis

RKC Waalwijk, with 3 goals scored and 19 conceded, has a negative goal difference after 7 rounds.

RKC Waalwijk is currently struggling to find the back of the net, with a low number of goals scored and a high number of games where they failed to score. This suggests that their attacking play needs to be improved, with a focus on creating better opportunities and converting them into goals.

An average of 3.86 shots on goal per game is certainly not exciting for RKC Waalwijk, which is therefore a team that does not score many goals, nor does it particularly engage the goalkeepers. This will be an important factor to consider when evaluating the match.

The team starts as an underdog in their next match, both because they will be playing on a field that is by no means easy and because they are not showing very good finalization skills, averaging 0.43 scored per game.

The adaptation of Daouda Weidmann with the new jersey has not been the best. He had another disappointing performance in RKC Waalwijk last game of the season, against Ajax. In the clash, the midfielder failed to be effective and did little for the team. Despite the good expectations for the player, his performance is starting to worry.

Best goalscorer from RKC Waalwijk

There are always individualities that stand out in a squad and in the team's attack Richard van der Venne has held that position so far in the competition. Serving RKC Waalwijk with 2 goals this season, the Midfielder has been a key player in winning triumphs.
