Perhaps a welcome break from league football as NAC Breda & PSV face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the KNVB Beker. All the pre-match information is available here!

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Eredivisie. That game was also an away game, at VVV-Venlo. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.

NAC Breda form and stats

Last season, NAC Breda's KNVB Beker journey ended in the 1st round.

NAC Breda have collected 23 points from their Eerste Divisie home games so far after 7-2-3. Two home wins in a row for NAC Breda bring valid hopes of a third.

NAC Breda's last game was hosting Jong AZ and winning 3-1. Before that, NAC Breda played out a Eerste Divisie draw 0-0 when visiting Helmond Sport.

The home team are doomed in this game if you believe the odds offered on PSV to win. Let's see if NAC Breda are capable of creating a surprise here by looking at their earlier home games as massive outsiders: one game found revealing 0 NAC Breda wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat.

There will be little rest for NAC Breda after this match as they are travelling to Go Ahead Eagles for a Eerste Divisie game in only three days.

A decent goal production from NAC Breda in their home games so far, with 21 goals from 12 league matches. NAC Breda are not conceding a lot of goals here at Rat Verlegh Stadion in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 10 from 12 matches.

PSV form and stats

PSV was sent out of KNVB Beker in the 2nd round last season.

The visitors are W3-D4-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Eredivisie.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to VVV-Venlo in their previous outing. The Eredivisie match ended in a draw 1-1. That result followed a home victory 4-1 versus PEC Zwolle in the Eredivisie.

As mentioned earlier, PSV will not be satisfied unless they get a comfortable victory in this game. Performing as huge favourites away from home has earlier resulted in 4 wins (2 by two or more goals winning margin), 1 draw and 0 surprising defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as PSV are hosting FC Twente in the Eredivisie only three days away.

The travelling fans enjoy PSV's attacking play in away games, having scored 16 goals in 10 league matches away. PSV have conceded 14 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: 1 - 0 - 9 (NAC Breda wins - draws - PSV wins). As for goals, 6 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 4 had two or less.
