Hosts Riding Momentum After Strong Finish to 2025
Heerenveen wrapped up 2025 in style with three straight victories, the standout result coming in Rotterdam where they knocked Feyenoord out of the Dutch Cup with a 3-2 win despite recording lower xG (1.10–2.20) and being outshot 22–10. Jacob Trenskow scored the dramatic winning goal in stoppage time.
Robin Veldman’s side followed that up with a dominant 3-0 home win over Heracles in their final December fixture, limiting the visitors to just 0.48 xG while firing 15 shots, eight on target. Maxence Rivera stood out with one goal and one assist.
They had another solid showing against Feyenoord last weekend, holding the favored side to a 2-2 home draw after finding two equalizers through Luuk Brouwers and Van Axel Dongen.
RKC Score Regularly
RKC Waalwijk were relegated to the Dutch Eerste Divisie last season, and their chances of reclaiming top-flight status are not looking great, having collected just 29 points from 21 matches so far.
The team hit a rough patch in December, suffering three straight league defeats to Jong PSV (3-1), VVV Venlo (2-1) and Vitesse (2-1), before wrapping up 2025 with a 2-0 away win against struggling Jong Ajax.
In the previous round of the Dutch Cup, RKC demolished tier-four side HSC ’21 9-0, with Tim van der Leij scoring a hat-trick.
