In a weekend match in week 8, on Sunday Oct 2nd, Feyenoord will travel to Nijmegen to battle NEC in a Eredivisie match. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 12 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. NEC sits at 11th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 0-0 scoreless draw against FC Utrecht. Neither FC Utrecht nor NEC could manage to put one past the goalie. They had 18 and 11 shots on net respectively, but no one could score, and the match ended in a 0 – 0 draw,. NEC is looking for direction having earned 11 points in their last 10 matches, while feyenoord is fresh off their 3-4 loss against PSV. Oussama Idrissi scored the first goal for Feyenoord in the 3rd minute, then Jarrad Branthwaite tied it up for PSV in the 16th minute on a feed from Cody Gakpo But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback in the 83rd minute on a goal by Armando Obispo. With 19 points in their last 10 matches Feyenoord should be reasonably happy with their performance.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season. Last season Feyenoord won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Feyenoord has been fortunate! In the last five matches, both Santiago Giménez and Danilo are on scoring streaks. They have each scored 4 goals for Feyenoord and look to continue their dominance.. NEC is having problems scoring lately. Their top scorers, Ibrahim Cissoko and Iván Márquez each only have 1 goal in their last five
Philippe Sandler and De Wolf are unavailable to play for Rogier Meijer’s team, while Arne Slot’s squad will be without Sebastian Szymański.
