Our prediction for this KNVB Cup match:
After holding reigning champions Ajax to a 1-1 draw, NEC Nijmegen will look to book their place in the Dutch Cup last 16 when they take on Almere City on Wednesday evening. Rogier Meijer’s troops gave fans yet another reason for celebration following a thrilling 6-1 win over RKC, but this game will be anything but a walk in the park for the Eredivisie outfit.
Talented forward Ibrahim Cissoko is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while all Baldursson, Roefs, and de Wolf are likely to miss the game with injuries. Almere City, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 3-2 loss to Zwolle, and given their three-game winning run on home soil, Alex Pastoor’s troops are surely capable of sharing the spoils with NEC Nijmegen. Ritmeester van de Kamp is likely to replace Danny Post in Almere City’s starting line-up.
