This could be an interesting match as FC Eindhoven have their presumed home advantage while NAC Breda are ahead 6 points in the Eerste Divisie table.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
