Feyenoord vs NAC Prediction
De Stadionclub got their season underway with a home win earlier this week and will look to continue that form here. They have lost just one of their last 10 home games in this fixture and are strong favorites.
Anel Ahmedhodžić made his debut against Fenerbahce and is likely to start here. Justin Bijlow was an unused substitute in that match as the first-choice goalkeeper was not fully match-fit. Robin van Persie will likely start Casper Tengstedt in the attack here.
The visitors are winless in their last 15 competitive games, and seven games in that period have ended with a 1-1 scoreline. Notably, they last registered an away win in the Eredivisie in December.
Charles-Andreas Brym was injured in training and will miss the campaign opener. Moussa Soumano, Leo Greiml, and Fredrik Oldrup Jensen are also sidelined at the moment.
The hosts have been the dominant side in this fixture and should be able to record a win.
Prediction: Feyenoord 2-1 NAC
