Twente vs NEC Nijmegen Predictions

• Twente have won 11 of their 15 home league games this season, drawing the other four.
• NEC have lost four of their last five away games against top-half clubs.
• At least three goals have been scored in 11 of Twente’s last 15 home league games and five of NEC’s last seven overall.

Tukkers can take another three points

Europa League-chasing Twente can take all the points when they host mid-table NEC Nijmegen at De Grolsch Veste on Friday evening.

The Tukkers are going well at the moment with goals coming from all angles and should ensure their home stadium in Enschede remains a fortress heading into the play-offs. Ron Janes’ side have won 11 and drawn four of their 15 games at the ground all season, which represents the joint-second-best home record in the Eredivisie.

NEC have picked up more points on the road than they have at home, but it is still a big ask for a team that lost 3-2 to Heerenveen and 4-1 to Vitesse to pull off a shock in this fixture. Their win at De Grolsch Veste last season was their first in ten visits, so it has not been a happy hunting ground in recent years.

Goals can come from all angles 

There is solid evidence for goals here from both sides’ recent records, at least three having been scored in 11 of Twente’s 15 at home this term and in five of NEC’s last seven overall.

So it is worth taking the odds boost about the hosts winning with over 2.5 goals in the game. Twente have had eight different players find the back of the net in their last nine games, so it will be hard for NEC to stop all of them. Midfielder Michel Vlap, with three goals and an assist in his last four games, looks a good option in anytime goalscorer betting.

A 3-0 home win is the preferred correct score play because Twente have scored at least three goals in five of their last nine matches and kept four clean sheets in their last seven. NEC, meanwhile, have shipped three goals or more in three of their last five league contests.
