Go Ahead Eagles - NEC betting tips and odds

Go Ahead Eagles are not exactly firm favourites to register three points in this game but we still believe they will manage to defeat NEC. The odds of 2.50 might sound a bit risky but we still trust hosts can come out on top in the end.

The visitors are conscious of the challenge before them. To come out on top against Go Ahead Eagles on their home field would be a noteworthy accomplishment, and it is never an easy task.

Go Ahead Eagles returned home from their last Eredivisie trip with their tail between their legs. The first 45 minutes of their last league game did not indicate a tough defeat was on the horizon. However, the hosts dropped their guard down and got beaten RKC Waalwijk.

Eredivisie betting odds described the away team’s previous engagement as a rather close call, so it’s no surprise that it ended with a draw. The outcome is far from great news for NEC, though, who were hoping that the home-field advantage will be enough to allow them to overcome the opposition.

These two teams have shown to be evenly matched throughout the season. They’ve recorded multiple draws since the competition began, which doesn’t sit well with Go Ahead Eagles because they’re the favourites. They’ll have a shot at finally getting a positive score, though.

The visitors have to contend with several injuries. Robin Roefs, Jordy Bruijn, Magnus Elkjaer Mattsson, Mathias De Wolf are the players that will be missing, which makes the NEC lineup somewhat weaker than usual. This is made far worse because they were considered undergods going in either way.

Our prediction would be a fairly safe Home Win bet at the odds of 2.48. It’s obvious the hosts have a clear advantage going into this clash, and there’s plenty of reasons to feel confident in their success.
