NAC Breda preview: Looking to end their poor streak
After failing to win any of their last five games in the Eredivisie and with just one win in their last nine games NAC Breda have clearly struggled recently and while they are still 12th in the standings, they now sit just four points ahead of Sparta Rotterdam, their next opponent and the team that's in a spot that leads to the relegation playoffs.
Meanwhile, Raul Paula, Matthew Garbett, Lars Mol, Cherrion Valerius, and Dion Versluis are out with injuries, but NAC will also be without Boyd Lucassen and Jan Van den Bergh, who are suspended for this match.
Predicted lineup: Bielica (GK), Busi, Greiml, Van den Bergh, Kemper, Staring, Jensen, Balard, Sauer, Mar Omarsson & Van Hoojdonk

Player to watch: Tobias Lauritsen
With seven goals in the league this season, the Norwegian forward has been the top scorer for Sparta Rotterdam in the Eredivisie. Lauritsen is the standard starter for the team and while his efficiency might not be the best, he is still the biggest threat to NAC Breda in this match.
