WLDDLW ⚖

NEC are hoping to win again following the 3-2 KNVB Beker success against PSV Eindhoven.

For NEC, the goals were scored by Bryan Linssen (6'), Eli Dasa (37') and Başar Önal (61'). Ismael Saibari (16') and Dennis Man (20') scored for PSV Eindhoven.

Fixtures featuring NEC have proved to be absorbing affairs recently with a lot of goalmouth action the rule rather than the exception. Over their past six clashes, a total of 23 goals have gone in for both sides combined (at an average of 3.83 goals per game) with 12 of those belonging to NEC. That sort of trend won’t necessarily follow through into this next game, however.

Analysis of their past results shows that NEC:

• have not lost a league tie with FC Volendam in their previous 7 matches.
• have not won at home in their last 2 league matches.

📰 Team News: NEC

It’s our opinion that NEC will probably make use of the 4-4-2 formation this time, handing starts to Jasper Cillessen, Brayann Pereira, Ahmetcan Kaplan, Deveron Fonville, Sami Ouaissa, Darko Nejasmic, Kodai Sano, Virgil Misidjan, Tjaronn Chery, Danilo and Bryan Linssen.

ℹ️ Team News: FC Volendam

We are inclined to think that Het Andere Oranje could decide to begin the game with a 4-3-3 system by sending out Kayne van Oevelen, Precious Ugwu, Mawouna Amevor, Nick Verschuren, Yannick Leliendal, Robin van Cruijsen, Dave Kwakman, Ozan Kokcu, Bilal Ould-Chikh, Robert Muehren and Aurelio Oehlers.

💡 Prediction

It’s pretty clear that FC Volendam will do really well to get a goal against a NEC outfit who appear set to dominate this match.

We predict a 3-0 winning scoreline for NEC at the end of the game.
