Nijmegen
NEC is a season of highs and lows. Also in 2017, there is no sense to make sense. The first two games after the winter break won by Willem II Nijmegen (0-1) and Roda JC (2-0). After the first two wins of this calendar year, the team of Peter Hyballa was successively beaten by Feyenoord (4-0) Go Ahead Eagles (1-2), PEC Zwolle (2-0) and last week against PSV (3-1) . The defeats against both Feyenoord and PSV, of course, did not come as a surprise in Nijmegen, but NEC being you can not go so easy defeat against Go Ahead Eagles and PEC Zwolle.
The Nijmegen last week went so slicing at the Philips Stadion against PSV but Hyballa was not dissatisfied with the play of his team. “The game was decided on details. We showed it to be good defensively. Here we could grab a point, “the NEC trainer who realizes that the Nijmegen to win the match against Sparta. “It is about time for three points.

There is – despite four defeats – with us a positive mood in the dressing room. ”

Sparta Rotterdam
A win today for Sparta perhaps even more important than a victory for NEC. The Spartans performed until the end of October well in the Premier League and no one would have thought that the team of Alex Pastoor end of February, only one spot would be above the playoffs stripe. The club from Spangenberg snatched only two points in 2017 and picked up in the last eleven league games only three points. Especially striking is that the team of Pastor points especially up against teams that on paper a lot have more quality than the Spartans. Thus Sparta played twice draw against AZ and took the Spartans two matches even two points against FC Groningen. Against teams with equal or sometimes lesser quality Sparta, the last months of regular slicing and capable team eventually agree to cost the head – Sparta went example, in recent months beaten by both Excelsior and Willem II PEC Zwolle.
In the previous matchday Sparta played for the second time this season draw against FC Groningen. Earlier this season, Sparta played a 1-1 draw in Groningen last weekend 2-2 at Castle was. Sparta was at home all within seventeen minutes for a 2-0 lead, but the lead was gone again within 27 minutes. In the second half the Groningen had to make almost forty minutes with ten men but also against FC Groningen ten players Sparta managed not to win. Priest regretted afterwards that eleven Spartans could not beat ten Groningen: “It feels a little bit like a defeat. We are so hungry for a win, so you can imagine how I feel. “Although the Spartans today obviously desperate to win, they will still secretly look forward to the semi-final against Vitesse next Wednesday.
