NEC form and stats
The traveling awayteam has defeated Capelle in order to reach 2nd round of KNVB Beker. NEC's mission in KNVB Beker last season failed in the quarter-finals.As the visiting team in Eredivisie matches, NEC have produced an overall stat of 3-2-3 so far. Recent form does not give NEC much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. SC Cambuur will be a tough nut to crack.
NEC's previous game was their home loss versus PSV (1-2). NEC goalkeeper Branderhorst was glad for a super day at work against PSV, but despite registering seven saves the loss could not be stopped. Mattijs Branderhorst (goalkeeper) was the best performer with a rating of 7.51. Branderhorst stopped the opponent with seven saves.
It was a Eredivisie defeat before that one as the away game against RKC Waalwijk wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.Looking at the earlier recent performances of NEC when being an outsider away as they are today, we find two matches with the visitors losing two times, drawing zero and winning zero games.
The schedule is very tough for NEC now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Eredivisie game at Go Ahead Eagles is waiting in only three days.
NEC has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 12 goals from 8 games. For NEC, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
