👉 Our prediction is: NEC win or draw

We feel strongly about NEC's chances of leaving with a point, or maybe even more. That is why our betting tip is NEC to win or draw on the Double Chance market.

NEC has shown considerable courage and determination in their recent away performances, while Cambuur's form has not been the most convincing. So while an away win might be too much to ask for, NEC is more than capable of collecting a point in this match.

👉 Our prediction is: over 9.5 corners

Cambuur vs NEC figures to be a very up-and-down match between two aggressive sides, so the corners market is quite an attractive one to bet on.

And with odds of 1.76, we are eyeing the over 9.5 corners bet to hit, which means having 10 or more corners for both teams throughout the 90 minutes will win the bet.
