Jong Utrecht vs Nijmegen Prediction & Betting tips
Title favorite NEC closes the second round of games against last year’s Young FC Utrecht. David against Goliath on Zoudenbalch?
Jong FC Utrecht:
For Jong FC Utrecht last season it had a single highlight in a season that was characterized by lows for the rest: the Utrecht U21 team could not relegate, because in the football pyramid no amateur club was found to be in the Kitchen Champion Division this season. play.
With 27 points from 36 matches, Robin Pronk’s boys finished in last place. The team was deprived of victory between October 20 and early February. In addition, the team scored the least goals and took the most goals from all teams on the second level.
Young FC Utrecht will therefore have to do a lot better this year not to disappear from professional football. The start of the season was certainly anything but promising. On visiting Go Ahead Eagles the team went down by no less than 5-0. In addition, all first team players who participated in the season last season have left from the Galgenwaard. So it will be another tough season for Young FC Utrecht.
NEC:
For NEC, the season 2018/2019 should be the year of return at the highest level. Where the team last season under the leadership of Pepijn Lijnders the title to Young Ajax, direct promotion to Fortuna Sittard and promotion through the playoffs to leave FC Emmen, fans expect this year nothing but a promotion.
With the help of the finances of moneylender Marcel Boekhoorn, the club management invested at least to achieve that goal. For example, the Nijmegen team strengthened themselves with players like Tom Overtoom, Joey van den Berg, Rens van Eijden and Brahim Darri, boys with the necessary experience who also have the qualities to be active at the highest level. Furthermore, Randy Wolters (badly injured), Jonathan Okita (yesterday freed from MVV), Leroy Labylle (hired from VVV), Josip Kvida (PEC Zwolle) and Norbert Alblas (Ajax) strengthened the ranks.
The question is whether this is enough to accommodate the departure of strong holders like Ferdi Kadioglu (Fenerbahce), Mohammed Rayhi and Gregor Breinburg (Sparta), Arnaud Groeneveld (Club Brugge) Calvin Verdonk (Feyenoord) and Wojciech Golla (Wroclaw).
With the new names, NEC started the season badly. In the final phase, it gave a certain like victory to Cambuur. Between the 90th and the 94th minute the Frisians came back from 2-0 to 2-2.
