Sparta Rotterdam - NEC betting tips and odds

Betting odds can be illusive at times and NEC are more than capable of pulling an upset. However, Sparta Rotterdam should have a clear path to victory if they stick to the plan.

NEC are heading into a difficult fight, but it’s far from hopeless. They may need to bring their best, but the match can go any way at this point. The odds of an away win are 3.45 right now, which means the favourites are far from clear.

With $ODDS_HOME_LAST_ROUND_AWAY betting odds to win their previous away match, it’s fair to say Sparta Rotterdam were never the favourites to do such a thing, let alone pull it in an impressive manner. Yet after taking an early lead they eased to a SC Heerenveen HT/FT victory which will be a huge boost for their morale ahead of Friday.

The visiting team are coming on the back of a decisive victory in their recent home game, which earned them 3 points and a solid 3:0 goal difference. Such an outcome was hardly surprising, though – most bookmakers online saw them as the clearly stronger team in that particular matchup.

With 7 goals in their previous 3 Eredivisie matches, Sparta Rotterdam’s attacking players have been seeing a lot of success and top bookmakers online are backing them to continue the trend.

NEC’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 betting odds are clearly in the hosts’ favour, and the last time they clashed with NEC things went their way. In fact, they snagged a decisive victory with an advantage of more than two goals.

Fortunately, both teams will be able to give their all this Friday. Neither squad has been affected by injuries or suspensions, allowing the coaches to work with all the tools at their disposal.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1.58 if you use the Unibet sportsbook.
