Match Preview
Heracles Almelo welcomes NEC Nijmegen to Erve Asito for an intriguing Eredivisie clash on Saturday. The hosts have struggled for consistency, recording two wins and three losses in their last five matches, while NEC comes into this fixture with a solid form of four wins and one loss. Historically, NEC has had the upper hand in their recent encounters, winning six of the last ten meetings, which could give them a psychological edge. One concrete angle to consider is both teams' propensity for goals. Six of the last ten head-to-head matches have seen over 2.5 goals, and both teams have scored in six of those encounters as well. With Heracles needing to improve their defensive solidity and NEC riding high on their attacking momentum, betting on both teams to score (BTTS) at odds of 1.61 seems a promising option. The match could be a high-scoring affair, making the over 2.5 goals market at 1.75 another attractive proposition.
