Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 3-1
Nijmegen
After coming from two goals behind to share the spoils with PSV, Feyenoord will be aiming to get back on course when they face NEC Nijmegen in the Dutch Cup last 16. The Rotterdammers showed character in the draw with Ruud van Nistelrooy’s troops, and they must be high on confidence ahead of the visit of NEC. Iran international Alireza Jahanbakhsh is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while both Justin Bijlow and Sebastian Szymanski remain in the recovery room.
The visitors, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Go Ahead Eagles, and seeing that Feyenoord have turned their De Kuip into a real fortress, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the hosts. As for the visiting side, all Bruijn, Mattsson, Roefs, and de Wolf have been struggling with injuries of late.
