Your Web 3 Guru and Moonbet presenting todays match: Jong AZ – NAC Breda
On Tuesday evening, the Cambuur Stadion will be the battleground as Cambuur takes on NEC for a coveted spot in the final of the 2023-24 KNVB Beker. The winner of this clash will face either Feyenoord or Groningen in the grand finale. SC Cambuur comfortably defeated Vitesse in the quarter-final encounter on February 7, securing a 3-1 victory.
Henk de Jong‘s squad initially took the lead with a goal from Milan Smit. But Anis Hadj Moussa equalized for Vitesse. However, goals from Fedde De Jong and Smit sealed the deal for Cambuur. Despite this success, Cambuur has only managed to gather four points from their last four league matches, slipping down to eighth place in the Eerste Divisie table.
Their next challenge is against an opponent who has won just once in the last six encounters between the two teams. Having conceded 12 goals in their last five home matches, Cambuur needs to shore up their defense in front of their home crowd to enhance their chances of clinching silverware.
NEC Nijmegen
NEC Nijmegen secured an impressive 3-0 victory against ADO Den Haag on February 6, advancing to the semi-finals of the Dutch Cup. Rogier Meijer‘s side took an early lead through Koki Ogawa and sealed the deal with second-half goals from Dirk Proper and Tjarron Chery. In their recent league outing, NEC claimed a 2-0 victory over Sparta Rotterdam, currently sitting seventh in the Eredivisie table. With an unbeaten streak in eight of their last nine away matches across all competitions, NEC proves to be a formidable opponent on the road.
However, NEC will be without Bas Dost due to a heart problem, with no confirmed return date yet. Nils Rossen and Kas de Wit are also sidelined, with De Wit yet to feature this season due to a long-term knee injury. Milan Smit has been prolific for Cambuur, scoring five goals in his four cup appearances this season, making him a player to watch. However, Cambuur will be missing Gabi Caschili and Marcel Schaapman due to knee injuries.
Possible Lineups
Cambuur: Van Osch; Poll, Bergsma, Smand, Ottesen; Van Kaam, Breij; Smit, De Jong, Balk; Uldrikis
