NEC Faces Tight Schedule Ahead of Ajax Clash

omidbasir- NEC will resume their halted away match against Sparta Rotterdam on Tuesday evening. This development significantly reduces their preparation time ahead of the critical match against Ajax, scheduled for Saturday. However, the Nijmegen team has no plans to request a postponement from the authorities in Zeist.

The match between Sparta and NEC was temporarily suspended on Sunday afternoon due to heavy snowfall, only seven minutes into the game. The remainder of the match will now take place on Tuesday evening. As reported by De Gelderlander, this leaves NEC with just three days to prepare for the upcoming showdown at Ajax, rather than a full week. While a rescheduling of the Ajax match to Sunday would have provided additional preparation time, such an adjustment is not on the table.

From a competitive standpoint, the timing of the Ajax match remains unchanged. Both NEC and Ajax are currently vying for a top-two finish in the Eredivisie, with Feyenoord leading the standings with 45 points. Ajax holds 42 points, closely trailed by NEC at 41 points. Additionally, NEC still has their away match against Sparta to complete.
