NEC - Almere City betting tips and odds

By pricing a home win at around 1.83, the bookies made it clear that NEC are the favourites. Overall, though, the difference between the teams is not big, and the match can end either way.

The odds are stacked heavily against Almere City here, and we can’t see them winning this match. NEC are heavily favoured by most betting predictions – so much so that an away bet is priced at around 4.40.

NEC showed some character in their previous Eredivisie outing. It was a tough trip to take but they held well. Matter of fact, NEC kept it level at the break and after the full 90 minutes for a SC Heerenveen draw.

Top online bookmakers gave Almere City odds of 2.88 to win their previous game, meaning it was bound to be a close call. They took an early lead and proceeded to turn it into a $RESULT victory, much to the delight of their home supporters.

NEC’s form is fairly strong when it comes to offense – they netted 7 goals in the last three away games.

Almere City fans have a lot of cause for concern – with 6 concessions in their latest 3 away games, their track record seems to indicate a tendency to underperform in away games.

NEC have had a rocky season so far, but there’s plenty of time to improve their table position, which is currently sitting at 10th. They have the advantage this Saturday, and they should seize the opportunity.

The form we saw from Almere City over the past 9 matches can’t be good for their supporters’ confidence. They’re just 3 points above the relegation zone and are heading into this game as clear underdogs. On the bright side, we’re only at round 9 of the competition.

Before going for any betting predictions, we need to make note of the overall high number of prior injuries. Both sides have been hit: Elayis Tavsan, Kas de Wit, Jasper Cillessen, Youri Baas, Brayann Pereira for the hosts, and Álvaro Peña, Milan Corryn, Faiz Mattoir for the visitors. Needless to say, this may impact the teams’ performance.

Though it’s a stretch, a Draw bet is likely the best option when it comes to betting on this match. With the odds at 3.90 with Betsson, it’s not exactly the safest of bets – but it’s quite strong when it comes to value.
