N.E.C. Nijmegen travel to face SC Cambuur on Saturday evening with several players unavailable. Manager Rogier Meijer's squad will be missing five players, including forward D. Nejasmic who scored against Feyenoord last weekend.
The absentees also include D. Fonville, A. Kaplan, B. Linssen and E. Mor due to injury. Meijer confirmed the squad is not at full strength. "We have to make do with what we have," the manager said. "It's an opportunity for others."
N.E.C.'s last result was a 2-2 home draw with Excelsior on September 8. Their recent form over the last five matches shows three wins, one draw and one loss. The team currently sits in eighth place in the standings.
Cambuur are coming off a 2-2 draw away at Telstar and have struggled for consistency, having lost 4-1 at home to FC Twente earlier this season. N.E.C.'s last starting lineup against Excelsior featured a 3-4-2-1 formation with N. Polster in goal and A. Tahaui among the scorers. The full squad list is available on the squad page.
The match kicks off at 21:00 local time at the Kooi Stadion. It is the sixth matchday of the Eredivisie season. The teams will be announced one hour before kick-off.
