The best Eindhoven vs NAC Breda predictions and picks

NAC Breda to win

Unlike the majority of teams in the Eerste Divisie, Fc Eindhoven have only played one match which means they will come into this one rustier than their polished opponents. Eindhoven could only muster a draw on the opening day of the season while NAC Breda have four points from their opening two fixtures and four goals scored to boot. Given match sharpness and fitness can play a big role at this stage of the season, we expect Breda to come out on top.

Over 2.5 goals

Although Eindhoven’s first game of the season ended 1-1, they are a team who are used to taking part in high-scoring games – five of their final seven games of last season saw more than two goals. NAC Breda are also serial entertainers as can be seen by their start to this season. They followed a 2-2 draw with Dordrecht with a 2-1 win over Jong AZ which shows they will travel to Eindhoven intent on scoring goals which lends itself perfect to this market.

Over 0.5 first half goals

All three of the matches involving these two teams this season have seen more than one goal at half time which shows that neither squad is satisfied to just keep things tight until the break. Meanwhile, the last three direct clashes between the Eindhoven and Breda have seen at least one goal before the break.

Eindhoven vs NAC Breda: Preview and team news

Eindhoven

FC Eindhoven haven’t been in the Eredivisie for well over 30 years now but will feel as if they have a chance of promotion again this year after reaching the playoffs last season. If they are to do so, then their home form will be important which makes this a huge game for them, particularly as it is against a promotion rival. Maarten Peijnenburg is the only man ruled out for the home side.

NAC Breda

NAC Breda have been in the Eredivisie more recently than their opponents on Friday and they too will have their eyes firmly set on the promotion race this season. They will have to do it the hard way, though, as four first-team players are unavailable for this one which means manager, Peter Hyballa, will have to juggle his squad accordingly.

The two teams have played each other 15 times in the past. Out of those encounters, Eindhoven won four, NAC Breda won seven and the remaining four matches finished in a draw.
