My Prediction
NEC Nijmegen by 1Let's cut to the chase here, the Eredivisie matchup between Heracles Almelo and NEC Nijmegen is one that's bound to raise the heart rate.
Let's start with NEC Nijmegen. Robin Roefs, who's been between the posts, has a respectable 7.25 rating with 11 saves. Not too shabby! Bryan Linssen and Sami Ouaissa are the standouts here, both with some nice ratings and goals to their names. And let's not forget Brayann Pereira, who's also found the back of the net. Their recent games have ended in triumph, particularly that 3-0 victory over Ajax.
Heracles Almelo, on the other hand, have had Fabian de Keijzer in goal with a 6.80 rating and 17 saves. A touch lower than their counterparts, but I've seen far worse. Thomas Bruns and Luka Kulenović have been up to the plate with their performances, both having nudged in a goal each. However, the team's recent games, particularly the 4-1 slew by PSV, might be a dent on their confidence.
Now, let's dig a little into history, shall we? Past matchups show a 2-1 exchange of victories, meaning we don’t exactly have a traditional domineering side. But overall, Heracles Almelo has been on the receiving end this season, with less victories than Nijmegen.
When the whistle blows, I have a feeling NEC Nijmegen may nip this one with its superior form and player stats. But remember folks, (or don’t remember, your choice), in the game of football, the ball is round.
