NEC - PSV predictions

The game is heavily lopsided in the visitors’ favour – for instance, most bookies are offering 6.75 odds on a home win. The hosts are no doubt in a difficult situation and don’t have much hope of overcoming PSV.

It’s hard to see this match going any other way than an away win. Priced at 1.45 with most bookies, this match is a fairly one-sided affair, and NEC will need to give quite the performance if they want to get any points out of it.

A FC Utrecht defeat is something NEC want to make a swift return from. This narrow loss from the previous round of the Eredivisie came after a tied first half which had the host believing they might get at least a point in front of their home support.

PSV defended their home turf in the previous round and walked away with a 1:0 victory against FC Twente and three more points on the scoreboard. Considering how much of a favourite PSV were considered, however, some fans were hoping for a flashier finish.

NEC have managed to bag 7 goals in the last three showdowns, and the supporters at Sportpark De Weeren are expecting a lot of action this time around.

PSV netted 13 goals in the last three away games, implying a very strong attack-minded performance even as visitors.

PSV are enjoying quite a spell in the Eredivisie. Sitting top of the pack after 27 matches, they seem to be on their way to a very successful season. They are keen to maintain their course and bookmakers surely trust they will do it this Saturday if betting odds of 1.45 are anything to go by.

A quick look at the previous season’s match history makes the 1.45 odds for an away win quite understandable. PSV handily beat NEC on multiple occasions, decisively proving to be the favourites in this matchup.

While it’s risky as far as betting predictions go, a Draw/Away bet in the Half Time/Full Time market is the best place to find betting value in this match. Simply put, the 1.45 odds outweigh the relatively small implied probability.
