Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Go Ahead Eagles & NAC Breda face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the KNVB Beker. All the pre-match information is available here!
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Eagles and NAC Breda.
Go Ahead Eagles form and stats
Eagles was eliminated in the quarter-finals last season in the KNVB Beker.The story so far in the Eerste Divisie for Go Ahead Eagles at their home stadium (De Adelaarshorst) is 1 win, 1 draw and 2 defeats.
Eagles are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus NEC. Previous to that game, a Eerste Divisie home match hosting FC Eindhoven in a game that was won 3-0.
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 Eagles have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won two times, drawn three and lost one.
Eagles has scored 5 league goals at home this season, in 4 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 6 goals have been conceded.
NAC Breda form and stats
NAC Breda was sent out of KNVB Beker in the semi-finals last season.NAC Breda have six points from their first three away games in the Eerste Divisie, meaning two victories and a loss.
Breda aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 192 league minutes without a goal. N. Venema was the last player to find the net.
There might be some fixture complaints from Breda as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Eerste Divisie match against Almere City (0-2). The game before that, in the Eerste Divisie, was lost at home, a 0-4 defeat against SC Cambuur.
We have checked recent matches where Breda have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those five games were two victories, zero draws and three defeats.
A new game in only four days for NAC Breda, the Eerste Divisie home match versus NEC. Busy days.
Breda have scored 4 goals on their travels this season, from 3 away games in the league. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (2 so far).
