On Wednesday night, NAC Breda host Feyenoord at the Rat Verlegh Stadion, as the home side look for a potentially crucial victory in the battle to maintain Eredivisie status.
NAC Breda are rock bottom of the Dutch top-flight table, four points off the relegation play-off positions and a massive ten points from the safety of 15th place with just three league games remaining.
A 2-1 defeat at Fortuna Sittard means that the home side has now won just one of their last 14 Eredivisie games. The result last time out means that both teams have scored in four of NAC Breda’s last five league outings.
The home side has had a problem winning games on home soil of late in the Eredivisie, as they have failed to win in their last six away matches in the Dutch top-flight. A relative lack of home goals in the Dutch top-flight has hampered their chances of picking up more wins, as they have scored just three times in six games.
Feyenoord are currently third-place in the Eredivisie table but are 18 points behind the top-two Ajax and PSV Eindhoven. The visitors are also five points clear of fourth-place AZ Alkmaar after recording four straight wins in the Dutch top-flight, including a 2-1 win over AZ last time out in the league.
Feyenoord’s recent Eredivisie matches have been high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in their last six league outings.
The visitors have a poor recent away record in the Dutch top-flight, winning just one of their last eight games on their travels. In fact, a 3-0 win at VVV in their last away match ended a seven-game winless away run for the visitors.
Although their recent away games have not necessarily been high scoring, both teams have scored in seven of Feyenoord’s last nine away games in the Eredivisie.
Forebet predicts that Feyenoord will all-but end NAC Breda’s survival hopes by recording a victory in a high-scoring clash.
