NEC Nijmegen: A Team Fighting for Continuity

Currently sitting in 11th place in the league, NEC Nijmegen has had a mixed bag of results this season. They have recorded 8 wins, 5 draws, and 13 losses, totaling 29 points from 26 matches. The home side will take confidence from their recent performance, which includes a hard-fought victory over FC Utrecht. However, their inconsistency has been evident as they’ve only managed two wins in their last five encounters. With an overall goal tally of 37 scored and 37 conceded, NEC needs to tighten their defense and find that winning formula.

At home, NEC has shown glimpses of their potential. They have scored 27 goals on home turf while conceding 19. Their attack can be dangerous, averaging around 99.69 attacks per match but struggling with a high loss rate. This upcoming match presents a golden opportunity for them to build momentum.

AZ: Aiming for Glory

On the flip side, AZ stands in a much stronger position, currently occupying the 6th spot with 44 points from 25 matches. They have registered an impressive 13 victories alongside 5 draws and 7 losses. Their goals scored have significantly outnumbered those conceded, with 42 goals netted against just 26 against them. Their form recently has been a bit shaky, but they managed to secure a notable penalty victory in a previous tie.

When it comes to away games, AZ showcases a relatively strong offense, scoring 19 goals while keeping their opponents to just 14. They average a robust 111.32 attacks each match, solidifying their reputation as a formidable side in away fixtures.

Head-to-Head History

The psychological edge may slightly favor AZ, as they secured a 1-0 win the last time these two teams met in the current season. Such an outcome could spark confidence in the visitors as they prepare for this crucial encounter.

Betting Tips

Considering their respective performances this season, AZ is favored to win with odds of 2.15, hinting at a solid probability of 46.51%. NEC, while having home advantage, has shown vulnerabilities throughout the season, making this matchup more favorable for the away side.

For those looking to place a bet, the safest and most lucrative option seems to be betting on AZ to win outright, capitalizing on their superior form and standing in the league. Expect this match to be an emotional rollercoaster, but the stats heavily lean in favor of the away team.
