NEC - PSV predictions

With most bookies pricing a home win at 6.22, this is one of the more lopsided matches of the season. Needless to say, NEC don’t stand much of a chance at coming out on top.

PSV are expected to win this match, which is made quite clear by the 1.47 odds that can be found with most bookies. The odds are not so short as to make an Away Win bet not worth taking, though, which also implies a certain degree of risk.

NEC iare coming off from a purposeful 4:1 triumph against Fortuna Sittard . The last time they played at Sportpark De Weeren, they had issues taking control in the early game but established clear dominance in the second half.

PSV had a clear strategy last round – securing an early lead against NAC Breda and turning it into a slow, but comprehensive victory. Whether they will use it again against PSV remains to be seen, but they earned the right to feel confident at Sportpark De Weeren.

NEC have been having issues defending lately, though it’s mostly affected their away games for now. They’ve recorded 5 concessions in the past 3 games as visitors.

The away team’s defensive record is slipping. They’ve conceded more than 5 times in their previous 3 Eredivisie engagements. This, at least, points to this match as a decent choice for something like an Over 5 Goals bet.

PSV are well on their way towards a championship title. They’re at the top of the standings in the mid-season and aren’t very likely to lose their spot any time soon – though the end is still quite far.

PSV won this matchup last season, leading most bookies to mark them as the favourites this Saturday. More importantly, it was a very convincing victory, and they likely won’t be satisfied with anything less than a 2-goal lead again.

The visitors may be expected to win, but they’ll have to do so without Noa Lang, Malik Tillman, Adamo Nagalo. This tips the scales slightly in the hosts’ favour, but not by much.

An Over 3.5 Goals bet has strong chances of success here, so we can safely recommend it. With the teams’ records for scoring and conceding in mind, the 1 odds offered at 1xbet are more than fair in terms of value.
