Across their last ten matches, they have been averaging close to 2 goals scored and around 1 conceded per game, showing a decent balance between attack and defence. In the previous round they unexpectedly dropped points at home to Den Haag (2-2), despite a huge xG advantage in their favour (2.33 against 0.30).

⭐ Editor's Prediction
Feyenoord are considered favourites for this match, and that looks a reasonable assessment. The visitors are the stronger side, have a more high-profile squad, and have won their last four away matches in the Eredivisie. NEC Nijmegen have started the season well and are capable of making it a contest at home, but on balance the advantage lies with the Rotterdam side. Our bet is Feyenoord - Handicap (0).
