NEC Nijmegen, Recent FormNEC Nijmegen will be looking to regroup after their bruising encounter with PSV in which they suffered a 4-0 away defeat.
Manager Rogier Meijer will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 12 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 9 goals they managed at the other end. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games at Goffertstadion.
They've had a dismal run of form at Goffertstadion recently, losing all but 1 of their last 6 home games, their solitary win providing little consolation.
FC Utrecht, Recent FormFC Utrecht will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 3-1 away win against Heracles Almelo.
Having lost 13 goals in their past 6 matches, boss Ron Jans will surely be casting a critical eye over his defensive line, even though his team managed to pick up some points along the way due to the 7 goals they scored. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They're experiencing a relativley poor spell of form on the road, having lost 4 of their last 6 away games despite notching up a couple of wins.
