Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The statistics suggest there's no obvious winner here, but good reason to think Heracles and NEC will find the net twice at least between them. Goals have flowed freely when they've gone head-to-head historically, and neither Bas Sibum or Dick Campbell has suffered the frustration of many 0-0s of late either. The bookies are predicting over 1.5 goals too, with top odds of 1.22 equating to approximately a 79% probability.
