Our prediction for this Netherlands Eredivisie match:
Saturday’s football game at MAC³PARK Stadion pits together Zwolle and NEC Nijmegen, the two teams with entirely different ambitions in the remainder of the season. Zwolle are fighting hard to secure the Jupiler League survival, while NEC are eyeing a place in the Conference League playoffs. The rock-bottom side were struggling in the first half of the season, but they have been showing signs of improvement of late. Zwolle proved their worth in back-to-back wins over Willem II and Heerenveen, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to secure the elite division survival.
All Kenneth Paal, Samir Lagsir, and Sam Kersten are out of contention with injuries for the home team. NEC, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-1 loss to Feyenoord. Considering that the hosts want this win more than the visitors, we are tempted to put our money on Zwolle. El Karaouani is back from international duty, while Ivan Marquez is banned for the away side.
Highlighted Player (Konstantinos Lamprou):
Konstantinos Lamprou is a Greek goalkeeper who plays for Eredivisie club RKC Waalwijk. Kostas is a product of the famous Ajax football academy, but he eventually decided to join Feyenoord football school. The 178-cm-tall shot-stopper continued playing for Feyenoord at senior level, making 14 league appearances for De Trots van Zuid.
During his spell with Feyenoord, Kostas Lamprou played for the likes of Excelsior and Willem II on loan as well. In 2017 he returned to Ajax, but made no more than three appearances in the Eredivisie with the Amsterdammers.
In the 2019/20 season he did not see any game action with Vitesse, and, as a result, he decided to join RKC Waalwijk at the end of the campaign. Born in Athens on September 18, 1991, Konstantinos Lamprou has 14 caps for the Greece U21 team. He has yet to make his debut with the senior team.
