After being handed two away defeats in their last three league games in the Dutch Eredivisie, Saturday’s hosts, NEC Nijmegen, will be keen to return to more familiar surroundings for this upcoming clash against bottom of the league, Cambuur.
Recent losses on the road at Feyenoord and Go Ahead Eagles have meant that NEC still remain in a mid-table position of 10th, but the hosts will be looking to rekindle the sort of form which brought the hosts a solid five-match run without defeat prior to these losses, which included victories over Cambuur, Waalwijk and Emmen.
Having already recorded a win against Saturday’s opponents, Cambuur, with a 1-0 win away from home in the earlier corresponding fixture, NEC will be confident that they can repeat this feat on Saturday, especially as the hosts are unbeaten in their last nine home games in the Eredivisie.
As mentioned earlier, Cambuur sit bottom of the Eredivisie table and the visitors find themselves five points adrift of safety ahead of this tough looking trip to Goffertstadion where they will be up against a NEC outfit that have been hard to beat on home soil.
Nine defeats within their last 11 league matches have also done little to ease Cambuur’s relegation fears and having managed just one win in their last seven matches on the road, Cambuur look to have their work cut out if they’re to pick up even a point in this tussle.
An overall away record of 2-3-4 7/13 looks bad enough but the bigger picture shows Cambuur have recorded just three away win from their previous 18 outings on their travels and with nine defeats included within this sequence, the visitors will do well to avoid another loss here on Saturday evening.
The Betting Verdict
NEC have won the previous three meetings on the trot against Cambuur and the hosts look in good shape to extend their dominance over their visitors in this encounter as well.
The Pick :
NEC 1-0 Cambuur
