NEK continue their fight for a place in the Conference League playoffs and will seek a mandatory victory against NAC Breda. The hosts are in 13th place with 37 points, just three points behind the eighth position. NEK's last match brought an impressive 3-0 victory as a guest against Ajax. This win is a good statement of confidence for the decisive final rounds. Furthermore, NEK are on a streak of three consecutive home games without a loss, showing stability on their own turf in a key stage of the season.
Difficulties in away matches for NAC BredaThe guests are in the lower part of the standings with 32 points and continue to search for form. They have not won in their last 13 matches, losing 0-1 to Fortuna Sittard in the last round. Even more concerning is their away form - only two wins, three draws, and a total of 11 losses in the league, with their last away win dating back to December 2024 against Sparta Rotterdam. However, NAC Breda managed to beat NEK 1-0 in the first match of the season, showing that they should not be underestimated.
Prediction: Both teams to scoreConsidering NEK's stable form at home and the fact that NAC Breda will urgently seek points to move away from the danger zone, expectations are for an open match. The history of the previous clash and the ambitions of both teams give reason to believe that both goals will be scored. Therefore, my prediction is both teams to score.
