NEC v Heerenveen Tips

Big game in away from the Netherlands as NEC are in third place, and a win would move them into second position. Their visitors Heerenveen hold eighth place and a playoff position. They need to get something from this game to stay in this position. NEC making the home play count with midfielder Bryan Linssen, who scored two last week, could be in a confident mode to score again today.

Heerenveen have the best form in the last 3 rounds of Eredivisie, winning 3 games in a row. They also won the last 2 duels against NEC Nijmegen with 1-0 and 3-2. More over, NEC have meet PSV twice over this month, winning with 3-2 in two intense games, so I think Heerenveen will be the fresher team today, and could continue their winning streak.

Heerenveen won three in five, and their scoring has been solid. NEC are still very competitive, but we think the visiting side's momentum could earn them a point.

Both teams have average scoring per game more than 2 goals per game, so the game looks like to be over 2.5

NEC have scored in each of their last thirty home league games. Heerenveen have scored 2+ goals in their last three league games.

NEC are unbeaten in eighteen of their last 21 league games. Heerenveen have scored 2+ goals in their last three league games.

Heerenveen have a good away from home form in Eredivisie lately, winning 4 of 6 games, but they conceded minimum a goal in the last 4 of them. At home, NEC have won only one of the last 3 league games, so I see the guests having a better momentum, so I think it will be a close game in which both sides will score and Heerenveen to win.
