Almere City - NEC predictions

Almere City will have to put on their best performance to record a home win against NEC. The price of 3.13 indicates a difficult battle and that’s exactly what we expect to see in this match.

The match is most likely to go in the away team’s favour, though it’s by no means a sure thing. With 2.19 betting odds to win, NEC have the upper hand going in, but all three possible outcomes are possible.

Almere City’s previous Eredivisie match did not go their way, but not even the most stubborn fans would have predicted a different result against a team as strong as Ajax . They played as visitors, and the top online bookmakers priced an away win at 11.75. They never recovered from some early concessions, and the score was brought to a conclusive 3:0 result before the end.

NEC will be looking to snag some points after the HT/FT home defeat they recorded in last round’s match against Feyenoord. To be frank, not many were optimistic about their chances of winning that bout, so they’ll need a better chance to climb up the $LEAUGE ladder.

With more than 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 fixtures, Almere City’s performance leaves something to be desired. That said, savvy punters could be able to exploit this – think BTTS or Over 5 Goals markets, for example.

It’s easy to spot a certain trend when looking over NEC’s recent history – and not in a good way. Their latest appearances were marked by a high concession rate. For example, their previous 3 matches featured more than 5 conceded goals.

NEC may be the favourites in this matchup, but they failed to press that advantage when they met Almere City earlier in the season. This earlier bout ended in a draw, so the away team will be looking to redeem themselves.

With Bart van Rooij, Philippe Sandler, Bas Dost kept from the game due to injuries, the away team is forced to switch things up. They are still considered favourites, but it’s something to keep in mind.

If you want to get some value out of this match, you’ll need to be willing to take a risk. The best betting offers are found in the HT/FT market, specifically for a Draw/Away bet.
