NEC Nijmegen and Feyenoord will square off in an Eredivisie matchday seven fixture on Saturday (September 28th). The home side are coming into the game on the back of a 2-1 defeat at home to Heracles last weekend.
All three goals were scored in the first half, with Mario Engels and Luka Kulenovic scoring to put the visitors 2-0 up by the 13th minute, while Koki Ogawa halved the deficit in the 45th minute.
Feyenoord, meanwhile, claimed maximum points with a routine 2-0 home win over NAC Breda. Ayase Ueda stepped off the bench to break the deadlock in the 34th minute while Quinten Timber doubled their lead from the spot with 16 minutes left on the clock.
The victory left them in fifth spot in the standings, having garnered nine points from five games. Nijmegen are 12th with six points to their name.

NEC vs Feyenoord Prediction
NEC have lost their last two league games on the bounce and are winless in this fixture since December 2015. Their games have typically been tight affairs, with four of their last five producing less than three goals.
Feyenoord have made an indifferent start to their league campaign, albeit having made a five-game unbeaten start. Brian Priske's side have won just two games, drawing three and the former Sparta Prague manager is under pressure to get the Rotterdam outfit firing.
We are backing Feyenoord to claim a narrow win with goals at both ends.
