Iceland - Croatia

Netherlands Cup, 1/16 stage. Here we have a bet on the Eredivisie leaders NEC, who unexpectedly sit in 4th place and it's mainly due to their very effective offense, which was implemented by the new coach, long known as a big supporter of attacking football. There is no doubt that NEC will also go on the attack against the 3rd league team from the very beginning, and I don't expect major rotations, as for these "smaller" clubs, the cup is very important and they don't spare any effort even in the earlier stages. As for AFC, their defense looks very weak this season, even against teams of their own level, as they haven't been able to keep a clean sheet in about 10 matches, and their offense is what saves them from time to time. I think they can expect at least a goal, as NEC gives these chances to everyone, as they did in the previous stage against another 3rd league team, scoring three times but still being eliminated due to defense (3-2). I think this could be a realistic scenario again today, where everything will be decided by the game at the opponent's goal.
