NAC Breda preview: Hoping for their third win of the season
With five losses and just two wins in the Eredivisie so far, NAC Breda find themselves in the spot that would lead them to the relegation playoffs. Of course, it is still early in the season and they are just one point behind a few other teams in similar position, including their next opponent, but Breda need to find their best form sooner rather than later.
Meanwhile, Aime Omgba and Raul Paula are out with injuries at the moment.
Predicted lineup: Bielica (GK), Greiml, Van den Bergh, Kongolo, Valerius, Balard, Jensen, Kemper, Sauer, Kuijpers & Kostorz

Player to watch: Roberto Gonzalez
The 23-year-old Spanish winger has contributed two goals and one assist so far in the Eredivisie and we can see Gonzalez doing well against NAC Breda too, helping NEC to a win.
