Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Match outcome: Draw— 3.66
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Total goals: Under 2.5 — 2.15
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Three: Both teams to score: YES — 1.59
There’s a chance this game could end in a draw because two of NEC Nijmegen’s last five Eredivisie matches ended as draws and Excelsior are winless in their last four league games.
This game could end with less than three goals because two of Excelsior’s last four games ended with under 2.5 goals and four of NEC Nijmegen’s last five games ended similarly.
Excelsior’s defence is just as bad as their frontline but there’s a chance they could get on the scoreboard against NEC because the visitors only managed one clean sheet in their last five matches.
They have lost three of their last five Eredivisie matches including last week Friday’s 5-0 defeat to AZ Alkmaar away from home.
Excelsior are four points off the relegation zone as they occupy the 14th position with 20 points after 21 matches but they can go as high as the 12th position if they beat NEC this weekend.
They have managed only one win in their last five Eredivisie games but their recent league game ended in a goalless draw against Cambuur at home last weekend.
NEC Nijmegen are occupying the 11th position with 24 points after 21 matches but can go level on points with 8th placed Heerenveen if they beat Excelsior this weekend.
| Teams: | Excelsior | NEC |
| Position in 22/23 | 14th | 11th |
| Form | LDLLW | DLLDL |
We say Excelsior 1-1 NEC Nijmegen. NEC have recorded two draws in their last four Eredivisie matches and Excelsior haven’t won a game in their last four, hence there’s a chance this game could in equal.
This game is unlikely to produce over 2.5 goals but there’s a chance both teams could get on the scoreboard.
Back NEC Nijemegen to avoid a defeat to Excelsior.
