GO Ahead Eagles welcome NEC Nijmegen to De Adelaarshorst in what looks to be a fairly even contest. The home side have been in a bit of a rut recently, drawing three of their last five matches and only winning once, though that was a strong 4-1 victory away from home. NEC Nijmegen are struggling for form even more, as they have not won in their last five games, with three draws and two defeats, scoring just once in their most recent outings.

The history between these two teams has often been entertaining, with their last four meetings all seeing goals from both sides, including a 5-0 win for NEC and a thrilling 3-3 draw. Given that both teams are in poor shape and recent matches have been high-scoring, this match feels very open and could swing either way, making it a tough one to split. A draw seems the most likely outcome.
