NEC - Fortuna Sittard betting tips and odds

Betting odds can be illusive at times and Fortuna Sittard are more than capable of pulling an upset. However, NEC should have a clear path to victory if they stick to the plan.

The away team’s chances of winning this Saturday are dubious at best. They are the clear underdogs in a matchup with NEC, and the fact that they’re the visiting team isn’t making things any easier.

It’s fair to say NEC demonstrated their character in the last Eredivisie clash. They held it level at the break and after the full 90 minutes against a tough rival and managed to record an important draw (SC Heerenveen).

The 3:4 home defeat Fortuna Sittard recorded last round was largely expected by most Eredivisie betting predictions. However, it’s worth noting that the narrow goal difference and draw at halftime display a willingness to put up a fight despite poor circumstances.

NEC’s last few games have been following a bit of a trend – the 3 most recent ones ended in a draw.

Fortuna Sittard may need to work on their defence if they want to get anywhere. In the 3 most recent matches they played, they conceded more than 5 times in total, which is not a good record to have.

In terms of head-to-head stats, the closest point of reference right now is from last season when NEC walked away with a decisive victory. This is an entirely new campaign but most top online bookies are still expecting the match to end in their favour.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1.70 if you use the bet365 sportsbook.
