National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's NAC Breda or PEC Zwolle that keep their silverware dream alive.

This stadium has grass, which is not PEC Zwolle's regular surface at their own football stadium. When appearing on grass PEC Zwolle have performed like this: Played 32 matches with the output 4 wins, 5 draws and 23 defeats with the goal stats 31-69 (scored/conceded).

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.

NAC Breda form and stats

Last season their KNVB Beker adventure ended in the 1st round.

The complete Eerste Divisie results playing at home this season for NAC Breda are 5-5-1 (wins-draws-losses).

Stress levels are on the rise for NAC Breda's attacking players as they have now played 234 minutes without scoring in a league game. Haye was their last goal scorer. Nothing to worry about in defence for NAC Breda, as their goalkeeper Nick Olij has completely shut out the opponents for 183 minutes in the Eerste Divisie.

A draw after 90 minutes last time out for NAC Breda, who played 0-0 against FC Volendam. That match was also played at this venue (Rat Verlegh Stadion). The Breda goalkeeper Olij was crucial in the match against FC Volendam last time out, making seven saves. Goalkeeper Olij got the top rating on the team in that game; 8.42 out of ten. Olij stopped the opponent with seven saves and topped it up with a clean sheet.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus FC Eindhoven that ended 0-0.

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 seven games. NAC Breda has won three of these, drawn zero and lost four.

The manager Graaf will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to FC Emmen in only three days.

NAC Breda have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Rat Verlegh Stadion with 17 goals in 11 league matches. NAC Breda have only conceded 7 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
