Nijmegen vs Telstar Prediction & Betting tips
The crisis at NEC has reached a low point. Can the Nijmegen team against Telstar turn the tide after four defeats in a row?
NEC:
Even the most loyal NEC supporter wonders in the last few weeks why they are still making the Goffert a biweekly walk every two weeks. The team from Nijmegen started the season nicely, but in recent months the results can be called dramatic. The team of Jack de Gier only managed to win one of her last eight matches and the question is how long the coach will be allowed for the group in the Goffert. The last home game there were already white handkerchiefs to see and that will be no different Friday night.
De Gier has now worked in a difficult parquet and has given himself a new puzzle for the meeting against Telstar by removing Anass Achahbar and Brahim Darri from the selection. The pair did not return to the locker room last Sunday in the 3-2 away away match at FC Eindhoven after resting and afterwards had an argument with the coach, which he decided to remove from the selection.
Besides the mentioned pair, Rens van Eijden and Paolo Sabak also have a suspension, this time because of yellow cards. Frank Sturing, Norbert Alblas and Randy Wolters are not fit enough to play and behind the name of Marc Bossaerts there is still a question mark. De Gier may start on Friday with Ole Romeny on 10 and Mike Trésor Ndayishimiye on the wing. Sven Braken is also an option, he will return to the selection for his transfer to Denmark.
Telstar:
Telstar is going through a fairly anonymous season. In contrast to NEC, the expectations in Velsen-Zuid are not too high either. After the departure of strong holders like Mohammed Hamdaoui, Mohammed Osman, Melvin Platje, Andrija Novakovich, Jerdy Schouten and Rody de Boer, no one at Telstar had expected Mike Snoei to lead his team to sixth place again. After twenty games, the White Lions have accumulated 23 points, placing the team in sixteenth place. The gap on number seventeen Helmond Sport has already grown to nine points.
Helmond Sport was the opponent last Sunday in the first game of 2019. Telstar came in no further than a disappointing 1-1 tie, but with that it was allowed to squeeze hands afterwards because the equalizer of Senne Lynen only fell in the 90th minute . With the draw, Telstar did nothing, as the deficit in the last place in the ranking that currently entitles the playoffs (currently occupied by Cambuur) has already risen to six points.
With a win in the Goffert, Telstar climbs over NEC. That victory will then have to be achieved without Toine van Huizen. The central defender and culture guard received his fifth yellow card of Helmond Sport against Helmond Sport and must watch a match from the stands.
