NAC Breda form and stats

The story so far in the Eerste Divisie for NAC Breda at their home stadium (Rat Verlegh Stadion) is 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat.

The regulars are hoping that NAC Breda will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-4 away loss in the game against Jong AZ (placed 7th). As you see from the result above, Breda suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one. NAC Breda's goalkeeper Kortsmit was extremely busy against Jong AZ, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning six saves. Velthuis was "man of the match" with a rating of 6.83 out of 10. The defender Velthuis won 4 of 5 duels.

Preceding that match was a defeat to VVV-Venlo (1-2).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how NAC Breda have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 8 games) they have won 4 times, drawn 3 and lost 1.
