NEC Nijmegen will welcome Feyenoord to the Goffertstadion in the seventh round of the Eredivisie. 

Let's have a look at the latest Netherlands Eredivisie predictions between NEC Nijmegen vs. Feyenoord, probable lineups, match facts, and betting odds for you to consider!

Note: Odds are subject to change at any time!

NEC Nijmegen

Form: LLWWL

Coming into this clash with four losses from their last six games is not how NEC Nijmegen imagined their campaign unfolding out in the early stages. However, three of those losses can be justified, considering they came against teams that finished in the top five last season.

Their latest disappointment was a 2-1 league defeat against Heracles Almelo at the Goffertstadion, despite dominating proceedings for large spells of the games. This extended their losing streak in the league to two matches. Due to their poor performance, they find themselves hovering four places above the division's relegation playoff. 

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Van Gassel; Pereira, Marquez, Nuytinck, Verdonk; Hoedemakers, Proper; Onal, Gonzalez, Hansen; Ogawa

Feyenoord

Form: WDDWD

Feyenoord remains one of four sides yet to suffer defeat this season. However, they are nine points adrift of the top spot, albeit with a game in hand. 

After a humbling 4-0 defeat at the hands of Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League, the Rotterdammers immediately returned to winning ways, recording a convincing 2-0 league win over NAC Breda at home. 

Probable Starting XI

Formation: 4-3-3

Wellenreuther; Lotomba, Beelen, Hancko, Smal; Milambo, Hwang, Timber; Osman, Ueda, Paixao

Expert Betting Tips

NEC have not won against Feyenoord since 2015 and will be in for a difficult test in front of their home fans as they aim to halt a two-game winless run in the league. 

Feyenoord, on the other hand, has been behind unconvincing performances this season and won't come as a surprise if they were to drop points in this fixture. Therefore, support the total corners to not exceed 11, as picking up a winner here could turn sideways.

• Corners - Under 11 for 1.80
• Both Teams To Score - Yes for 1.66
• Total - Under 3 for 1.82
