81% of goal output missing (only 36% available)
Weak away record (1.6 vs 2 goals/match)

Key factors

  • Critical squad impact: Only 36% of the goal threat available for Feyenoord, without Ayase Ueda and Anis Hadj Moussa
  • Feyenoord averaged 7.8 shots on target per match in recent games
  • Head-to-head history favors Nijmegen with one win and zero losses in the last 4 clashes

Risks

  • Limited data availability regarding weather conditions
  • Numerous injured defenders on both sides weaken the defensive formations
