Spakenburg vs Katwijk Prediction & Betting Tips (31 October)

Spakenburg look certain to be playing their football in the KNVB Beker, and it is easy to see why when you consider that they are winless in 10 top-flight home games, drawing three and losing eight. Katwijk, on the other hand, have recorded ten wins in 14 trips at this level recently, so Katwijk should prove far too strong for their struggling opponents.

Under 2.5 goals has been the order of the day in ten of the last 10 Spakenburg home games in the KNVB Beker, as well as in each of their previous seven KNVB Beker contests overall. Katwijk have kept things similarly tight recently, with 10 of their last 12 matches at this level delivering no more than a couple of goals, so anyone expecting a thriller is set to be severely disappointed.

At least one of the two goalkeepers has emerged with a clean sheet from each of the previous five Spakenburg matches in the KNVB Beker, so there is no reason to see this pattern changing against Katwijk. One reason for this is that it has also been the case in each of the Toffees’ last three away games at this level, so both teams are on the same page.
