Best Tip: Both teams to score

NAC may feel optimistic ahead of this match and, funnily enough, so might NEC. The bookies see them as well matched and so do we – there's no obvious winner in this clash. So we look to the both teams to score market, where the signs are pointing in one direction. The form stats, past head-to-head (H2H) records and bookies odds below are all pointing towards both sides scoring, and we think that's the tip to go with here.
