Prediction

  • NEC come into this weekend's game sitting in 10th place on 30 points with 10 matches remaining. NEC lost their last Eredivisie match 1-0 at Johan Cruijff Arena against Ajax, ending a three-match unbeaten streak (two wins and one draw). Landry Dimata and Pedro Marques have impressed for NEC this season. Dimata is the side's leading scorer with six goals, two of which have been the first of the match. Marques has been as impressive, netting five times. NEC will be looking to extend an 11-match home unbeaten streak (three wins and eight draws).
  • Utrecht suffered a 2-1 defeat against Fortuna Sittard at Stadion Galgenwaard last time out, leaving them in seventh place on 37 points after 24 matches. Utrecht's main man in front of goal has been Anastasios Douvikas, who has scored on 12 occasions, including five match-opening goals. He is the Eredivisie's top scorer. On the road this season, Utrecht have picked up five wins and three draws while suffering four losses.
