Support in the final third comes from Shunsuke Mito and Joshua Kitolano. Both players have found the back of the net 5 times each so far. They provide the creative spark needed to break down a Nijmegen side that often struggles to keep clean sheets away.
Defensively, the hosts will rely on Bruno Martins Indi to keep things organized at the back. He has received 5 cards this term, showing he is not afraid of a tactical foul. Pelle Clement is also expected to start and add balance to the midfield engine room.
Nijmegen arrives in Rotterdam full of confidence. Bryan Linssen is leading the line with 7 goals already. He is a constant nuisance for defenders and has a knack for being in the right place at the right time. His clinical finishing is a huge asset.
The creative duo of Tjaronn Chery and Basar Onal will pull the strings in midfield. Chery has 6 goals and Onal has 5. They contribute to a spectacular away attack that averages 7.27 shots on target per match. They will certainly test Drommel today.
Nijmegen is without Sami Ouaissa due to suspension, but they still have plenty of firepower to hurt the hosts. Expect Sandler to keep things tight at the back. We hope these insights help with your Eredivisie Predictions and good luck with the bets.
