Their winning form has come with a cost though, as their backline remains a concern, having conceded goals in each of their last eight matches.

This Eredivisie match offers a platform for NEC and Zwolle’s goal-scorers to step up and leave their mark on the contest. NEC’s offensive unit, crafted under Dick Schreuder’s leadership, has leaned on Brian Linssen and Koki Ogawa, as they continue to drive the team’s attacking efforts forward. With seven goals in Eredivisie, Shiogai is NEC’s top scorer in the league, while Linssen has been their leading creator in the competition with seven assists. NEC’s offense has also been strengthened by Tjaronn Chery, Kodai Sano and Basar Onal, who have provided crucial contributions in the final third.

Meanwhile, Koen Kostons and Kaj de Rooij have been pivotal for Zwolle’s attack, shaped by Henry van der Vegt’s vision, combining to deliver important goals and assists. Kostons has already scored eight goals in Eredivisie this season, while also being their most creative player, providing six assists in the league so far. Zwolle’s attacking depth is further showcased by Shola Shoretire, Jamiro Monteiro and Thijs Oosting, who have each made valuable contributions this season.
