Cambuur vs NEC Match Analysis & Prediction
27/02/2024 10:00 pm
A spot in the final of the 2023-24 KNVB Beker is at stake on Tuesday night when SC Cambuur play host to NEC Nijmegen at the Cambuur Stadion.
Awaiting the winners of this tie in the grande finale is one of Feyenoord or Groningen, who will meet in the other last-four encounter.
SC Cambuur got past the threat of Vitesse in the sides’ quarter-final encounter on February 7 through a comprehensive 3-1 victory.
The Yellow-Blues opened the scoring through Milan Smit but were pegged back by Anis Hadj Moussa after which goals from Fedde De Jong and Smit got the job done.
However, Henk de Jong’s side have picked up just four points from their four league matches since then and have dropped down to eighth position in the Eerste Divisie standings.
Having let in 12 goals across their last five matches on home turf, Cambuur will need to tighten up at the back in front of their fans to give themselves a real shot at silverware here.
Meanwhile, NEC claimed an impressive 3-0 victory over lower league side ADO Den Haag on February 6 to progress into the semi-final of the KNVB Beker.
The Eniesee got themselves ahead through Koki Ogawa’s early strike before second-half goals from Dirk Proper and Tjarron Chery sealed the deal.
Rogier Meijer’s side claimed a 2-0 victory over Sparta Rotterdam in their most recent league encounter and currently sit seventh in the Eredivisie standings.
Unbeaten in eight of their last nine matches on their travels across all competitions, NEC have proven themselves to be a tough team to beat away from home of late.
Cambuur vs. NEC Head to head
In the 22 previous meetings between these two teams, Cambuur have claimed five victories while NEC have won seven, and they have drawn in 10. They have each scored 24 goals in the process.
