Best Odds and Top Predictions for NEC Nijmegen vs Volendam
The masters of draw games NEC Nijmegen are looking forward to a home tie against one of the youngest teams in Eredivisie, FC Volendam.
Contents
Over 2.5 Goals
This might be a strange choice for a pick because NEC Nijmegen is the best under 2.5 goals team in the league. They had 16 ‘under' matches in 22 played. However, this NEC Nijmegen vs Volendam prediction is based on their h2h encounters over the last five years. In that time frame, they played seven times, and six of those matches ended with more than two goals scored. The first match this season ended with NEC winning by 4-1. Volendam, when we look at their over/under stats this season had 13 matches with at least three goals scored while nine of them went the other way. Checking on their form in the last five outings, Volendam had two over games while NEC did it only once.
Draw
Volendam has been at the bottom of the rankings for most of the first part of the season, but after the winter break they did a fantastic job of getting back on track, and right now they are outside the relegation zone with a three-point advantage over Emmen who are the first team under the line. Volendam had five draws this season including four while playing away matches. But, when it comes to drawing games, nobody does it better than NEC who had 12 this season, by far the highest mark in the league. There was a period during the season when they played seven draw games in a row. Out of all those draw games, eight of them happened on their home turf. So, expecting the NEC Nijmegen vs Volendam match, another draw might be in the offing.
