NAC Breda form and stats

Things could have gone better for NAC Breda in their Eerste Divisie away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.

There were no winners in NAC Breda's previous match, a Eerste Divisie home game that ended 0-0 vs Jong Utrecht (placed 12th). Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting FC Volendam's place.

A new game in only four days for NAC Breda, the Eerste Divisie home match versus Excelsior. Busy days.

As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, NAC Breda has managed 3 goals and let in 2 from 2 matches.
