"Go Ehead Eagles" and "Nijmegen" will sort things out in the match of the 20th round of the championship of the Netherlands. Will the hosts break the series of defeats?
"Go Ehead Eagles"
Four more rounds ago "Go Ahead Eagles" felt comfortable in the middle of the standings, and even looked towards the European Cup zone, and now I have to look back, because there was a threat of falling into the relegation zone. A 4-match winless streak led to such a sad situation, during which the Go Ahead Eagles suffered three losses with one draw. At the moment, he is seven points away from the relegation zone, as well as four points away from the transition zone.
"Nijmegen"
Nijmegen is still fighting for a place in the European Cup zone, but the gap from the seventh line is already equal to seven points. The handicap is not the worst, but the latest results of "Nijmegen" raise doubts about a positive outcome. In the previous three rounds, Nijmegen scored four points, and the victory over Emmen (3-1) is the only one in the last five rounds in which there was still a loss and three draws.
Statistics and figures:
- "Go Ehead Eagles" has a three-game losing streak;
- Nijmegen won in one of the last five rounds;
- The Go Ahead Eagles won against Nijmegen in one of the previous four games.
Forecast
Both teams have difficulties with wins, so they will try to improve statistics. I think they will be able to score at least three goals for two.
