Nijmegen Preview – Can NEC build on recent win?
NEC registered a welcome and comprehensive 4-1 win away from home at Volendam last time out in the Eredivisie and Friday’s hosts would have been relieved to open their account following an opening day 1-0 defeat at home to Twente.
Nijmegen finished last season in 11th place in the Eredivisie standings but the hosts will be eager to improve upon that this season as they chase a possible top eight finish although home form must get better; NEC have recorded just one win from their last 13 home games but they are unbeaten in their last three meetings at home against Groningen.
Groningen Preview – Can Groningen win back to back?
Groningen also recorded their first win of this new Dutch top flight season last time out when they registered a 1-0 home win over Go Ahead Eagles which put an end to not only a winless start this season but also to a nine-game winless streak overall in the Eredivisie.
Groningen had previously slumped to eight defeats within these preceding nine games and although they grabbed the three points in their last game, the visitors’ confidence may still be in a fragile state, especially away from home where Groningen have lost their last four away games on the trot.
