NEC Nijmegen and PSV Eindhoven get round 27 of the Eredivisie underway when they lock horns at the Goffertstadion on Saturday (March 30).
NEC were sent crashing back down to earth in their final outing before the international break, losing 1-0 to FC Utrecht at the Stadion Galgenwaard. Rogier Meijer’s side were on a four-game winning streak, including a 2-1 victory over Cambuur in the Dutch Cup semifinals on February 27.
With 39 points from 26 games, NEC are sixth in the Eredivisie, 10 points adrift of the UEFA Europa League qualifying spot.
PSV, meanwhile, returned to winning ways last time out, edging past FC Twente 1-0 at the Philips Stadion. Before that, Peter Bosz’s men were dumped out of the UEFA Champions League with a 2-0 second-leg defeat to Borussia Dortmund in the Round of 16 following a 1-1 first-leg draw.
With 72 points from 26 games, PSV are atop the Eredivisie standings with a healthy 10-point cushion over second-placed Feyenoord.
