【Expert Prediction】 🟢2-1🔵
Based on the available information, I predict a 2-1 victory for the home side, AZ Alkmaar (Youth).
AZ Alkmaar (Youth)'s stronger squad, better recent form, and home advantage should prove too much for RKC Waalwijk to handle. The depth and quality of AZ Alkmaar (Youth)'s youth setup, combined with their tactical discipline, make them the favorites in this encounter.
While RKC Waalwijk will be eager to cause an upset, AZ Alkmaar (Youth)'s relentless attacking play and their ability to control the match at the AZ Stadion should see them through to a narrow win. A comfortable victory for the home side or an unexpected result for the away team cannot be entirely ruled out, but a 2-1 win for AZ Alkmaar (Youth) is my prediction.
This match has the potential to be a closely contested affair, with both teams looking to secure an important early-season result in the Eerste Divisie.
