Excelsior vs NEC Betting Tips

Excelsior’s recent stretch of poor form has gradually seen them slip down the table, they’re now just five points clear of the bottom two. Last weekend’s trip to face Ajax in Amsterdam was never likely to be the moment they snapped their poor form and unsurprisingly, they suffered a heavy 3-0 loss.

NEC have played good football overall this season and they’re just four points out from third place in the Dutch Eredivisie’s crowded cluster in the top half. However, they’ve just stumbled in recent weeks failing to win any of their past four games, including defeats to PSV and AZ Alkmaar, and draws against Heerenveen and De Graafschap.

Reason for Betting Tips

NEC haven’t played as well in their last few games, but they’ve got a fantastic recent record against Excelsior and they won’t be the team that Excelsior breaks out against. They’re due a win and we’re getting NEC to win at terrific 9/5 odds with bet365.
