ADO DEN HAAG v NEC NIJMEGEN
Football : Holland : Dutch Eredivisie
Saturday 5th March 2011 – Kickoff 6.45pm

---

Hosts Den Haag suffered their first loss in six matches last weekend when they surprisingly lost a game they were seemingly in control of at NAC Breda last weekend.

On Saturday they host a NEC Nijmegan side who have drawn 11 of their 25 matches so far, and would no doubt settle for another point at 6th placed Den Haag I daresay.

Den Haag will be looking to bounce back to winning ways after last weekend's disappointment, and their home form suggests this could well be the case; four games now at the Kyocera Stadium without defeat which has included wins over Willem 2-1, Heerenveen 3-1 and VV Venlo 3-0.

Den Haag's home form record stands at 7-3-2 24/16 and three points today could lift them into a Europa League spot. ADO have defender Kum suspended after his red card last weekend.

Visitors NEC will be reasonably confident travelling to Den Haag on the back of a nine-match unbeaten run, but they have mainly consisted of draws and this does them no favours in terms of moving up the division.

Their away record stands at 2-5-5 19/25, and they will be keen to grab all three points this weekend rather than their statutory one! In fact, NEC have drawn their last four away matches.

NEC have a full squad available for this trip.

The Betting Verdict :

Despite NEC's propensity for draws, Den Haag should win this one at home and begin winning again – Den Haag to nick it 1-0.

FIXED ODDS BETTING :

Take Den Haag to win either on fixed odds or -0.5 asian handicap.
