📰 Team News: NEC

There is just the lone fitness concern for the NEC manager Dick Schreuder to be concerned with from a near full-strength set of players. Bram Nuytinck (Cruciate ligament surgery) won’t play.

🗞️ Team News: FC Volendam

FC Volendam manager Rick Kruys has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Henk Veerman (unknown injury) and Gibson Yah (Knee injury) are not able to play.

⚡ 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.
