APWin Prediction

Correct Score: 3 - 1

The APWin team has examined the key betting markets and identified the most valuable opportunities.

👉 Our prediction is: Under 2.5 goals in the match

It's hard to see too many goals in this match between NEC and PEC Zwolle 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.

👉 Our prediction is: PEC Zwolle win or draw

Even though PEC Zwolle will be the away side in this matchup, we do not expect them to go down in defeat. We recommend betting on PEC Zwolle to win or draw in the Double Chance market, where a win or a draw will win the bet.

PEC Zwolle does have its share of flaws, but NEC has also looked quite vulnerable of late, and not even being at home might be enough for them to avoid dropping points to PEC Zwolle.
