Feyenoord will entertain NEC Nijmegen at De Kuip in the round of 16 of the KNVB Cup on Wednesday. It will be one of four all-Eredivisie clashes at this stage of the cup competition.
The hosts secured their place in the round of 16 with a comfortable 3-1 win over PEC Zwolle, thanks to Mats Wieffer's goal and Danilo's brace. NEC recorded an impressive 4-0 win over Almere last month and will be looking to continue that form in this match.
Both teams endured winless outings in their Eredivisie games on Sunday, with the hosts playing out a 2-2 draw against arch-rivals PSV, with Alireza Jahanbakhsh scoring a last-gasp equalizer.
NEC fell to a 1-0 away defeat to Go Ahead Eagles as they remained winless in their last three league games.
