Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

This Eredivisie tie, with NEC and Groningen going head-to-head, offers real intrigue in the widely used over market, with at least 3 goals predicted to be scored in total. Attackers on both sides will look to take advantage of an open match and, having studied the relevant stats and odds, we firmly believe that a bet on over 2.5 goals would be stronger than anything in the WDW market.
