NEC - FC Twente betting tips and odds

While NEC winning is still technically possible, we wouldn’t hold our breath. They are severely outmatched compared to FC Twente, so even a draw result would be quite surprising.

If everything goes according to plan and FC Twente put their best foot forward we expect to see an away win in this match.

The hosts eased to a 29 away victory in the last round even though the 2.70 price suggested a different game. However, NEC did great to grab a first-half lead and finish the game superbly.

Even though it ended in a 3:3 home draw, FC Twente’s latest Eredivisie performance was surprisingly solid. They were in the lead at half time despite being up against PSV, who were seen as hard favourites by most bookmakers online.

NEC have displayed rather inconsistent defensive play in their previous outings. Specifically, their previous 3 away games have been marked by more than 5 conceded goals. They may be at home this time, but such records usually highlight deeper issues than a home-field disadvantage.

Considering the away team’s recent history, it seems they don’t play their best when they’re visitors. The previous 3 times were marked by 5 goals conceded and the negative trend will probably continue.

This is the second time we’re seeing this matchup this season, and FC Twente are still considered favourites by top online bookmakers. Interestingly, they lost the home game they played against NEC earlier in the season, but this is their shot at redemption.

Both rosters have been impacted by an unfortunate string of injuries, leaving them with limited options. The favoured visitors will be short Ennio Van Der Gouw, Kik Pierie, Wout Brama, while Rens Van Eijden, Édgar Barreto, Pedro Ruiz will not play for the home team.

This match is a bit tough to find value in, so you’ll need to be willing to take a risk. An HT/FT Draw/Away bet at odds of 1 is not exactly probable, but it’s clearly the best offer in terms of value.
