Feyenoord vs NEC Nijmegen Predictions

• Feyenoord have 12 wins from 20 matches in the Eredivisie this season
• Three of Feyenoord’s last four games have featured under 2.5 goals
• Feyenoord beat NEC 2-0 in the Eredivisie last month

Feyenoord can carry fine league form into cup clash

Feyenoord left it late to salvage a point from a top-of-the-table clash with PSV in the Eredivisie last time out but things should be more straightforward in their upcoming KNVB Cup clash with NEC.

Despite having trailed 2-0 against PSV on Sunday, Feyenoord remain at the Eredivisie summit this season thanks to goals in the 81st and 96th minute from Alireza Jahanbakhsh, who earned them a 2-2 draw.

In fairness that was the least they deserved given they racked up 35 shots in the match and they have been pretty impressive in the Eredivisie this season, losing only one of their 20 league assignments.

Their attention turns to the cup on Wednesday and their opponents are an NEC side in mid-table obscurity in the Eredivisie.

NEC have lost only five league matches but also won only four with 11 draws to their name this season, so they are known for keeping things tight and a Feyenoord win and under 3.5 goals could be a wise approach.

In terms of a correct score prediction, we suggested Feyenoord to win 2-0.
