Match begins: 17:45 (UTC)
Venue: Goffertstadion (12500 seats)

National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's NEC or VVV-Venlo that keep their silverware dream alive.

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Eerste Divisie match only four days ago. That game was an away game at MVV Maastricht, so at least NEC are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting VVV-Venlo have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 7-8-17 (win-draw-loss) from 32 matches.

NEC form and stats

NEC participated in KNVB Beker the last season, where they reached the 1st round.

6 victories, 3 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what NEC have to build on here at Goffertstadion in the Eerste Divisie.

NEC are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus MVV Maastricht. Before that, NEC had a Eerste Divisie home game versus Jong Utrecht which ended with a victory 2-0.

Norbert Alblas had a busy but productive day in the MVV Maastricht match. Despite making seven saves the loss could not be prevented.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as FC Den Bosch are coming to town in four days.

The NEC fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 20 goals in 11 league matches. NEC are not conceding a lot of goals here at Goffertstadion in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 10 from 11 matches.

VVV-Venlo form and stats

They also participated in KNVB Beker last season. This ended in the 1st round.

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for VVV-Venlo so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 3-1-6 (win-draw-lose). When we have look at the KNVB Beker statistics, we find 3W-0D-0L. This is both home and away.

There might be some fixture complaints from VVV-Venlo as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Eredivisie match against Fortuna Sittard (2-3). Before that, VVV-Venlo secured a home win against Vitesse with the score 4-1.

The schedule is very tough for VVV-Venlo now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Eredivisie game at FC Utrecht is waiting in only four days.

VVV-Venlo are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 19 times in 10 away games so far. For VVV-Venlo, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only -1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's five NEC victories, two draws and three VVV-Venlo wins. Over/under statistics; five of these games ended with three goals or more, five matches with two goals or less.
