Feyenoord couldn’t win last weekend against Ajax so they are staying on the first place in Eredivisie. They have now 38 points after 17 games but AZ is now 2 points behind. Feyenoord won this season 5 of 8 home games and normally they are always a strong team with there home support. They scored this season 40 goals and gets 15 goals behind.

NEC Nijmegen is doing it well this season with 22 points after 17 games. In the last 5 games they won 3 games and 2 draws. NEC games ended 10 of 17 games in a draw! Striker Tanane is still suspended for this game. NEC is playing very defensive and has a good goalkeeper with Jasper Cilissen. They get 18 goals behind after 17 games.

Feyenoord didn’t have many problems when they played against NEC. Last season they won 5-3 (after a 2-3) and before that Feyenoord won easily with 4-0, 1-0, 5-1 and 5-1. Feyenoord started very strong against Ajax and they were leading with 1-0. In the second half they had problems because they were a little bit tired. NEC is a very defensive team but I don’t think they can surprise in this away game. Feyenoord is a very strong home team and the leader in Eredivisie so I expect again a strong first half of them so I see them lead at half time.
