After losing 3-0 to AZ Alkmaar in their own backyard, NEC Nijmegen immediately reignited their confidence by returning to winning ways, defeating Excelsior 3-0 away thanks to second-half goals from Tjaronn Chery and Rober.

NEC Nijmegen have lost just one of their last six matches in the Eredivisie, recording three wins and two draws in the process. At home, they are currently on a two-match winless run (L1, D1), but it's worth mentioning they were on a six-match winning run and can't be underestimated in this one.

With 50 points accumulated from 32 matches, NEC Nijmegen sits in sixth place in the Eredivisie standings, one point ahead of seventh-placed FC Utrecht and two points adrift of fifth-placed Ajax Amsterdam.

Feyenoord's manhunt for the top spot this season is officially sealed and closed, and they will be disappointed not to have accomplished their mission following PSV Eindhoven's crowning over the weekend. In their latest match, they defeated PEC Zwolle 5-0 at home, extending their winning run at the De Kuip to six matches.

Arne Slot's men are currently on a four-match winning streak in the Eredivisie, scoring 15 goals and conceding a mere two. Away from home, they are currently on a two-match winning streak and have avoided defeat in their last eleven matches (W9, D2).

With 78 points accumulated from 33 matches, Feyenoord sits in second place in the Eredivisie standings and has maintained a significant 15-point cushion over third-placed FC Twente.
