RKC Waalwijk can be considered a team devoid of confidence as they have shown no fighting spirit in their bid for survival this season.
The hosts are second to bottom in the league standings and are in the thick of the relegation zone. They are twelve points behind safety and five behind Willem II, occupying the relegation play-off spot.
Head coach Henk Fraser has exhausted all his options to find solutions for his team's poor league performance. A 2-1 away defeat to NEC Nijmegen extended their winless run to eight games (D2, L6). It seemed as if they were about to mount a late survival charge when they won three straight matches from January 26 to February 9.

Mohamed Ihattaren played an important role in the last league game against NEC Nijmegen.
The 23-year-old provided an assist and is expected to keep his place in the starting lineup where he will play alongside Tim van de Loo and Yassin Oukili in midfield.
Yanick van Osch remains a long-term absentee with an unknown injury. The goalkeeper has missed 21 games so far.

FC Utrecht is surely on cloud nine after their spectacular performance against league leaders Ajax Amsterdam over the weekend. Expectations were leaning towards a cagey affair, but the visitors made it a one-sided affair, winning 4-0 in front of their home crowd.
The visitors are in the thick of securing a UEFA Champions League qualifiers spot that's if they play their cards right. They are in fourth place and are level on points with third-placed Feyenoord occupying the spot in question. However, their opponents still have a game in hand.
Utreg are unbeaten in their last four league games, picking up three wins and one draw. Notably, they have won two straight matches heading into this clash. Away form shouldn't be an issue, as they remain the only side yet to suffer defeat since the beginning of the season (W8, D6).

RKC Waalwijk vs FC Utrecht match prediction 25 April 2025
RKC Waalwijk has been in really bad league form lately. In fact, they have failed to win in any of their last seven games. I see this winless run being stretched to eight games. Expect them to put up a fight, considering that they are still in the race for survival with five games remaining in the Eredivisie season.
FC Utrecht, on the other hand, have performed arguably better than their opponents in this clash. I believe they can win here and take home three points. The visitors have not lost in their last 11 encounters against RKC Waalwijk. During this stretch, they won six and drew five.
