Nijmegen vs Jong Utrecht Prediction & Betting tips
With the support of BN’er and also NEC supporter Jochem van Gelder, NEC will face Monday FC Jong FC. Both teams are doing surprisingly well in the Kitchen Champion Division. Who takes the lead?
NEC Nijmegen:
NEC is doing well in the Kitchen Champion Division. At the start of the season, NEC often played a draw and lost some duels, but the last loss is already a while ago. October 4, NEC lost the tricky away match against NAC Breda. After that, there was a draw against league-leader Cambuur, but the remaining five games were won. Only the match against Excelsior in the KNVB Cup was lost after an extension. Francois Gesthuizen performs well and it is therefore at the top of the period position.
This is partly due to the victory last weekend. NEC had to visit Helmond Sport and had more difficulty with this than expected. It took an hour for NEC to pass the Helmond defense. When Sander Vereijken leveled his club in the 82 minute, Helmond Sport seemed on its way to a point. It was only late in the injury time when Tom van de Looi made the winning goal in favor of NEC. Right back Bart van Rooij was important for both goals with the assist.
Young FC Utrecht:
After a disappointing start, Young FC Utrecht suddenly started playing in the Kitchen Champion Division. That also led to the desired victories and that is why René Hake and his team were in fourth place after seven rounds. In the meantime, the Utrecht team promised a hefty free fall in the rankings. There were five games without a win, including three losses and then Jong FC Utrecht suddenly became eleventh. Whereas earlier this season they scored an average of four goals per match against Jong PSV, FC Den Bosch, Roda JC and FC Dordrecht, it is a lot less offensive this period.
Young FC Utrecht needed another win and this one came. Last Friday Jong FC Utrecht had to take on the less in shape Jong AZ. The 4-3-3 lineup of Hake took a 1-0 lead within fifteen minutes by a goal from Tommy St. Jago and later Justin Lonwijk doubled the lead and put Jong FC Utrecht on 2-0. In the 36 minute, AZ player Richard Sedlacek scored the connecting goal, but the chances of Jong AZ scoring early in the second half did not end in a goal.
