Prediction for NEC vs AZ
We predict NEC 2:2 AZ Alkmaar
The bookies see the visitors as favorites in this clash. However, we disagree with them.
NEC Nijmegen are too strong when they play at home. They are unbeaten in the previous 10 games on home soil (across all competitions), registering 9 victories and just one draw. Thus we don’t expect them to lose against AZ Alkmaar this weekend.
Considering the league standings, AZ Alkmaar will probably finish the season in fourth place and book their place in the Europa League, meanwhile, NEC Nijmegen still have a chance to catch 5th placed Ajax. The 5th place allows playing in the UEL qualification round.
We see a high-scoring draw between those teams, but pick NEC win or draw for our first prediction.
Prediction: NEC double chance
For our second prediction, we will pick over 2.5 goals. There have been at least three goals in the last 5 games between NEC and AZ at Goffertstadion (Nijmegen).
Betting Tip: Over 2.5
Match Preview: NEC vs AZ
NEC Nijmegen will host AZ Alkmaar this Sunday in the Eredivisie Round 31 matchup.
The hosts are heading into this match, after suffering a defeat in the Dutch Cup final against Feyenoord(0:1) last weekend. Although NEC Nijmegen will end this season trophyless, the club players and staff should be proud of such an impressive campaign.
NEC Nijmegen played out a 2:2 draw against PEC Zwolle in their last league match, extending their undefeated run in the Eredivisie to four games (W2, D2).
On the other hand, AZ Alkmaar were back to the winning ways, when they triumphed over RKC Waalwijk 3:2 in their last league fixture.
Pascal Jansen’s men collected 55 points and sit in fourth place.
