Out of a mainly healthy group of players, there’s only the sole fitness issue for the RKC Waalwijk boss Henk Fraser to be concerned about. Yanick van Osch (unknown injury) won’t be playing here.

It’s our belief that RKC Waalwijk will likely make use of a 5-3-2 system using Mark Spenkelink, Julian Lelieveld, Liam van Gelderen, Roshon van Eijma, Faissal Al Mazyani, J. Familia-Castillo, Tim van de Loo, Mohammed Ihattaren, Yassin Oukili, Oskar Zawada and Richonell Margaret.

It seems to us that RKC Waalwijk will do really well to score against a Feyenoord outfit who have the quality to win pretty easily here.

Our tip is for a convincing 3-0 margin for Feyenoord at the end of the 90 minutes.
