Preview

NEC went head-to-head with RKC in the Eredivisie of Netherlands on April 11. The game ended 2-1 in NEC's favor.

The turning point came on the 46th minute when Kodai Sano converted the chance, putting NEC ahead. The scoreline was shaped by further goals from Michiel Kramer and Brian Linssen, making the final score 2-1.

As NEC and RKC square off once more, the memory of NEC's 0-3 win in their Eredivisie match from 6 months ago still lingers. After a setback against Sparta Rotterdam on April 6, NEC are eager to get back on track in this match. A more organized backline could be the foundation for success, since their inability to keep a clean sheet has been evident, as they have been conceding goals for eight consecutive home matches now.

RKC prepare for this game after drawing with Heracles Almelo and AZ. Their backline has lacked consistency, with goals conceded across ten consecutive away matches.

This Eredivisie clash features attacking talents who have defined the campaigns of NEC and RKC. NEC’s top finisher Vito van Crooij and Koki Ogawa have played important roles in ensuring their attack, shaped by Rogier Meijer’s vision, remains effective. van Crooij has emerged as NEC’s leading scorer in Eredivisie this season, netting nine goals, and is also the team’s top assist provider, with five key passes leading to goals so far this term. NEC have also relied on Sontje Hansen, Thomas Ouwejan and Sami Ouaissa to energize their attack through key shots and passes.

Meanwhile, RKC’s attacking options, with Henk Fraser at the helm, have been bolstered by Richonell Margaret and Oskar Zawada, the team’s top scorer, both of whom have contributed crucial goals and assists. Zawada leads RKC’s scoring charts in Eredivisie this season with nine goals, as Margaret continues to lead their creative efforts in the tournament with six assists. Adding further support are Yassin Oukili, Mohamed Ihattaren and Richard van der Venne, who have combined to deliver key goals and assists for the team.
