Nijmegen vs Den Bosch Prediction & Betting tips
It was quite a sunny weekend in the Netherlands, so you may have forgotten but earlier this month there was still a lot of snow. NEC – FC Den Bosch was unplayable then, but the conditions are top on Tuesday evening.
NEC:
Rogier Meijer’s team has had a relatively strong season and thanks to a necessary victory are currently in sixth place in the Kitchen Champion Division. However, the team still has the match against last-ditch FC Den Bosch owed. With a three-pointer in the catch-up game, NEC Nijmegen keeps the connection to places 3, 4 and 5. Thirteen rounds before the end, Meijer’s team can work itself towards the after-competition. It also went well in the TOTO KNVB Cup. Despite only winning once against Eredivisionist Fortuna Sittard, the club stranded in the quarterfinals of the cup. Both against Fortuna Sittard and VVV-Venlo there was an extension, but in the quarterfinals it was not the happiest.
In the unique event last week, 1153 NEC fans came to De Goffert, but saw their team go down against title contender De Graafschap. Still, Meijer’s team recovered with a victory. Jordy Bruijn opened the score in the six-point match against Roda JC, after which Erik Falkenburg brought the Limburgers to the same level. With a fantastic distance attempt, Elayis Tavsan gave the Nijmegen team the lead again. In the 92nd minute Javier Vet determined the final score at 1-3 for NEC.
FC Den Bosch:
In ‘s-Hertogenbosch, the moods were not exactly positive. Where the club managed to make a great impression last year under Erik van der Ven, football did not seem like anything this season. Only two of the first twenty rounds of play were won and the club ended – not too surprisingly – in last place. The board intervened and fired the head coach. Under interim trainer William van Overbeek, there was a nice draw against NAC Breda and Excelsior, but when Jack de Gier was put in front of the group, they lost twice.
Last weekend it was finally hit for the club from Den Bosch. Jizz Hornkamp returned from an injury and started right in the base against Young FC Utrecht. The opponent would know that too, because after nineteen minutes he scored the opening goal. When Romano Postema managed to complete a razor-sharp counter, the club finally seemed on its way to victory. Substitute Ryan Trotman then determined the final score at 3-0. FC Den Bosch won for the first time since Tuesday September 22 last year!
