NEC - Go Ahead Eagles predictions

NEC should not have bigger problems running away with three points in this match if they stick to their game plan. However, Go Ahead Eagles can be a tough nut to crack and the home side need to be on top of their game.

While Go Ahead Eagles may manage to claw their way to a win yet, it will be quite a struggle. As we can see thanks to the 3.30 betting odds for an away win, the odds are stacked against them – though it’s still manageable.

Having successfully kept their guard up both at the halftime mark and the end of the match, NEC will be pretty satisfied with their last round’s result (0:0). An away draw as this one will be sure to motivate them this Sunday.

Go Ahead Eagles won their previous Eredivisie outing 3:2, which was quite a spectacle for the fans at their home stadium. Betting against them was considered fairly safe at kick-off, and their opponents PSV secured an early lead. In spite of it all, Go Ahead Eagles managed to overtake the opposition in the second half and walk away with 3 more points to the tally.

NEC fans at Sportpark De Weeren have seen a lot of concessions lately – 6 in the previous three matches. Hopefully, we’ll see some better play from their defenders.

Looking over the visitors’ record in away games, it seems they don’t do well when they’re out of the comfort of their home field. They’ve recorded a worrying number of conceded goals in their previous 3 away games – more than 5, to be more precise.

These two squads already clashed this season, and NEC narrowly lost the bout. With a home-field advantage on their side, however, most bookies believe that they’re more likely to win this time.

Kodai Sano, Iván Márquez, Thomas Ouwejan will all have to sit this one out due to injuries, leaving the home team’s lineup in a weakened state. They still have an advantage according to betting prices, but it may not be as notable as it would have been otherwise.

You can safely put down an Over 2.5 Goals bet on this match and feel very confident. If the teams’ records are any indication, 3 or more goals in this match are almost guaranteed.
