NEC Nijmegen, Recent FormA 2-2 draw against Feyenoord will be viewed as a positive outcome for NEC Nijmegen and a valuable point into the bargain. They achieved 31% possession in that match and had 2 strikes at goal, with 2 hitting the target, up against Feyenoord's tally of 25 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 13 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 8 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 11 games; however, they've scored in 16 of their 17 games this season.
Unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 matches can be counted as a good run of form, particularly with 3 victories included.
On an individual basis, Magnus Mattsson will be looking to get on the scoresheet again at Goffertstadion having scored 5 goals in NEC Nijmegen's last 6 home games in the league.
FC Twente, Recent FormFC Twente will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 2-1 home win against AZ. In that game they had 62% possession and managed 19 attempts on goal, with 8 on target, compared to AZ who had 5 attempts and 2 on target.
Whilst manager Joseph Oosting will be pleased with his team's performance in front of goal, having scored 14 goals in their last 6 games, he will want to tighten up his defence if they are to pick up more points, with 12 goals conceded in the same period. They've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 away games; however, overall they've scored in 15 of their 17 games this season.
With an unbeaten league tally of 5 games from 6, their recent form should be viewed positively, especially with 3 wins thrown in.
Manfred Ugalde will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 5 goals in the last 6 league games for FC Twente.
In the most recent meeting between these teams, they both managed to find the net, but the game finished in a 3-3 draw.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at Goffertstadion, NEC have been unable to break through the visitor's defence and find the back of the net. De Tukkers will be feeling confident about extending their scoring record against NEC, having notched up at least 1 goal in the previous 5 meetings between the two.
NEC has a poor track record in the league when they host Twente, losing in their last 2 home games.
NEC manager Rogier Meijer has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Kas de Wit (Unknown), Bas Dost (Heart problems) and Brayann Pereira (Unknown) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Twente manager Joseph Oosting has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
