NEC Nijmegen recorded two consecutive wins before the World Cup break, winning 1-0 over Cambuur and 6-1 over Waalwijk. Thus, the owner of ninth position in the Eredivisie standings has the opportunity to carve three successive wins if he is able to beat Ajax.
The positive results recorded by Waalwijk and the Go Ahead Eagles, who had already finished the 15th round earlier, made NEC fall to eleventh place. To return to its starting position, Rogier Meijer’s camp needs at least one additional point with an advantage in the number of goal difference.
For that, NEC must at least try to force Ajax to a draw. This will not be an easy task however as last season’s Eredivisie champions have managed a winning streak in their last four head-to-head meetings since November 2016, scoring a total of 16 goals and conceding just one.
What’s more, an additional three points this weekend have the opportunity to bring Ajax to the top of the standings, shifting the position of Feyenoord, who are currently three points ahead but behind in goal difference from Ajax.
To realize the dream of defending the title, Alfred Schreuder’s team must quickly recover from a record of failing to win in their last three league matches – two draws and one defeat. Of course, two consecutive wins in the last test match were the key to increasing confidence to challenge NEC.
His achievement as the second best club away from home in the domestic league competition this season should also help De Godenzonen bring home full points during his visit to the Goffertstadion.
