Over 2.5 Goals

👉 Our prediction is: NEC to win

While NEC will head into their match against Heerenveen as the favourite, it is still far from a sure thing to score three points away from home. Nevertheless, our betting tip is still NEC to win on the 1X2 market.

Our analysis of NEC leads us to believe that they are quite capable on their travels and can come up with the away win without much trouble, even against a tricky opponent like Heerenveen.

👉 Our prediction is: Under 2.5 goals in the match

It's hard to see too many goals in this match between Heerenveen and NEC given their lack of goalscoring ability.

That is why we project the total to go under 2.5 goals. So if 2 or fewer goals are scored, the bet wins.
