The campaign presented by NAC Breda is very bad, because it is in the last position of the championship and all that happened because of him. The weak performance that has been taking place in the field explains the reason for being in this situation and is aware that this needs to change if you want to at least improve your numbers. Therefore, nothing better than seeking a victory at a time like this, even more so because the championship is near the end.

Therefore, he hopes to at least stay in the current position, because that leaves him in the fight for a place in the Europa League. At the moment it has like goal to manage to maintain its reality, because it knows that the more points to add, more possibilities will have of reaching its objectives. In the current round he will face a weak opponent and of course he wants the victory, so he hopes to show a satisfactory performance to make it a reality.
