Team News

FC Utrecht
NEC Nijmegen
  • Utrecht head into matchday seven without Arthur Zagre, Mike van der Hoorn, Ramon Hendriks, Bart Ramselaar and Tommy St. Jago.
  • Mathias De Wolf is set to miss out for NEC, who shouldn't make too many changes from last weekend's team.

Prediction

  • Utrecht host NEC in an Eredivisie showdown at Stadion Galgenwaard on Friday evening. In their last meeting, Utrecht ran out 1-0 winners at home. They've gotten the better of NEC in recent times, unbeaten in their last five Eredivisie matches (four wins and one draw). NEC are looking for their first league win over Utrecht since November 2015. Utrecht have outscored N.E.C. 11-2 during this period.
  • On matchday six, Utrecht picked up a 1-0 win against Vitesse, placing them in eighth place on eight points. Summer recruit Bas Dost leads the way on five goals, two of which have been the crucial first of the match. As for NEC they played out a 1-1 draw against Fortuna Sittard at home to extend their unbeaten streak to five (one win and four draw), leaving them in 10th place on seven points. Pedro Marques, Iván Márquez, and Ibrahim Cissoko, who have each scored once, are NEC's leading attacking threats.
  • On home soil this season, Utrecht have secured four points (one win, one draw and one loss) from a possible nine on offer in three Eredivisie contests. NEC will be looking to stretch a three-match away unbeaten streak (one win and two draws). The last time they were defeated away was May 11 against PSV.
