🗞️ Team News: NEC

There’s just a single fitness concern for the NEC boss Dick Schreuder to be concerned with from an otherwise fully-primed squad. Bram Nuytinck (Cruciate ligament surgery) misses out.

🗞️ Team News: FC Volendam

FC Volendam boss Rick Kruys has to currently contend with reduced team options. Henk Veerman (unknown injury) and Gibson Yah (Knee injury) will not be playing here.

🔮 Prediction

NEC are likely to have the majority of the possession and should be able to turn a few of their chances into goals.

Conversely, FC Volendam could well find it tough to get a goal of their own although we do think that they will probably end up converting at least once here.

We can therefore see a fairly comfortable 3-1 win for NEC by the time that the referee blows the final whistle.
