NEC - Fortuna Sittard betting tips and odds

With bookies pricing a home win at 2.25, it’s clear the match may yet go either way. The hosts have a distinct advantage, of course, but both a draw and an away win are quite possible outcomes.

It’s highly unlikely that Fortuna Sittard will manage to get some points this round. NEC are at a considerable advantage, so even a draw would be a success for the visitors.

NEC lost their previous away game, although the narrow 3:2 margin means it’s nothing to be ashamed of. After all, PSV , their opponents, were given odds of 1.18 for a victory. They pulled ahead in the first half and NEC never managed to equalize.

The away team are here after a close home defeat in their previous Eredivisie matchup. Most bookies agreed that they were the underdogs going in, and the undecided first half didn’t change any opinions. Vitesse, the away team, ultimately took the lead in the second half and won the game 1:2.

The recent match history for NEC doesn’t seem promising if you’re looking for some excitement. The previous two games they played as hosts ended with very little goals – less than 2 in total in both instances.

Fortuna Sittard’s recent track record shows a very concerning amount of concessions – 6 of them in their previous 3 matches, to be exact. While it’s obvious their defence has a lot of problems, Over markets might be a good option for this match.

The last time these two teams met NEC managed to secure a solid away win, although it was rather narrow. They’re still considered the favourites in this matchup, especially now that they have the home-field advantage on their side.

The hosts may be favourites to win the match, but their lineup is in a somewhat weakened state. Édgar Barreto, Magnus Elkjaer Mattsson, Pedro Ruiz, Wilfried Bony are all sidelined due to injury, which makes NEC’s position as favourites a bit shakier than it might seem.

Betting on a Draw is likely to be your best option, though it’s a relatively risky wager. It offers decent value with the 3.90 odds, though, which can be found at top online bookmakers such as Betsson.
