Best Tip: NEC to win

A Eredivisie victory in front of their own fans for Dick Schreuder's NEC side win in the win / draw / win market is our prediction. Statistics suggest that their form is good coming into the match, and they should be too strong for their visitors. The odds from the bookmakers suggest the same, and when that happens you've got a pretty compelling case. A NEC win is the bet we'd suggest, but it could be a close one.
