Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

This Eredivisie clash, with NEC and Fortuna going head-to-head, offers plenty of value in the widely used under 2.5 goals market, with a total of 3+ goals being scored seeming highly probable. Strikers for both will look to take advantage of an open match and, having reviewed the relevant statistics and odds, we firmly believe that a bet on over 2.5 goals is the best option.
