Our prediction is: under 9.5 corners

We expect that corners will be hard to come by in the Heerenveen vs RKC Waalwijk match. Neither team has been able to create too many corner opportunities this season with how they have played, and this figures to be another match with a low corner count.

So for this match, we recommend betting on under 9.5 corners, where 9 total corners or fewer between the two teams will win the bet.

Our prediction is: Both teams don't score

How likely is it that both Heerenveen and RKC Waalwijk score in their upcoming match? Based on our expert analysis, don't bet on it.

We expect to see a hard-fought match high on effort and intensity but low on actual goals, so our betting tip is to take the 'no' on the BTTS market.
