It's a new Eredivisie Playoffs campaign and NAC Breda are aching to get started here at Rat Verlegh Stadion. ADO Den Haag are visiting and this should be a fascinating season kickoff.
It should be mentioned that ADO Den Haag play their home matches on artifical turf, so they have to adjust for this one as it's played on grass. Does it matter? Recent statistics for ADO Den Haag on grass are 3 victories, 4 draws and 13 defeats from 20 games. In these matches they have a goal statistics scored/conceded: 21-46. You can compare this with overall results below.
It's no vacation for neither NAC Breda nor ADO Den Haag as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
NAC Breda form and stats
Disaster struck Breda last season as they could not defend their status as a Eerste Divisie team. With 11 defeats from 38 games, and only 16 wins, relegation could not be avoided. NAC Breda are hopeful of bouncing straight back up, but need to improve upon their home record from last season of W10 D7 L2.
This is expected to be a close game, with NAC Breda perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with NAC Breda as a small favourite), we find five games. NAC Breda has won two of these, drawn one and lost two.
There will be little rest for Breda after this match as they are travelling to ADO Den Haag for a Eredivisie Playoffs game in only four days.
