1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses. That’s the product of NAC Breda playing as the away team in the Eerste Divisie this season. Recent form does not give Breda much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. FC Dordrecht will be a tough nut to crack.

Two trips in a row for NAC Breda, whose boss Molenaar could celebrate last time after the KNVB Beker win against USV Hercules.

A loss against ADO Den Haag was the result prior to that, in a Eerste Divisie home game.
