NAC Breda and FC Eindhoven meet often in the Dutch second tier, and they have always traded wins on their own home turf. The last time, in July last year, FC Eindhoven came away with a 2-0 win at Rat Verlegh Stadion, but before that NAC Breda had also thrashed them 3-0 at home. This time both teams are level on 10 points from 7 matches, separated only by 11th and 12th place. NAC Breda just won their latest match 2-1, but overall the last five games have been shaky. The defence concedes in every match and has shipped 15 goals in 7 games, while FC Eindhoven are the ones with momentum, having won two in a row 3-1 and 2-1 after a rough start to the season with heavy defeats 2-5 and 1-3. According to the expected line-ups, NAC Breda should set up in a 4-2-3-1 with Moussa Soumano as the lone striker and Kamal Sowah and Mohamed Nassoh creating behind him. FC Eindhoven also line up in a 4-2-3-1 with Siegert Baartmans as the front man. If NAC Breda score first from their more possession-heavy attack, the game should open up and flow toward the hosts, who will keep pressing. But if FC Eindhoven take the lead first from a counter-attack, the game could turn into the hosts having to push hard and risk being caught on the break again.
