NEC Nijmegen vs Excelsior Predictions and Free Betting Tips from expert tipsters when they go head-to-head in the Dutch Eredivisie on Sunday, 13 August 2023.
NEC Nijmegen are set to host Excelsior at Goffertstadion to kick off their new Eredivisie season. Nijmegen has started the season with a string of strong preseason performances in an attempt to improve on their 12th-place finish from last season.
Their opponents, Excelsior, have had a subpar preseason. However, after finishing 15th the previous season and just avoiding relegation, they’ll want to get off to a solid start this time.
The last time these two clubs met was in February. Nijmegen managed to deliver a 3-0 win that day.
In the last ten meetings between the two teams. Nijmegen has won three times, there have been two draws, and Excelsior has won three times.
However, Nijmegen has only lost this fixture once in the last eight meetings between the two teams at this venue. They have also won this fixture on six of those occasions.
We are counting on Nijmegen to pull off a win here. They have been in fine form leading up to the season opener. Their past three friendlies have all ended in wins.
Excelsior, on the other hand, had a disappointing preseason. They have lost two of their last three friendlies.
We expect goals in this match, but not in a barrage. Nijmegen has scored a lot of goals in preseason, but all against relatively weaker opponents. Furthermore, both of Excelsior’s past two matches concluded with under 3.5 goals.
In addition, the last three h2h meetings between these two have had under 3.5 goals. By the looks of things, a modestly scoring affair is expected this time out.
Nijmegen has had a great preseason. Their last three matches have all ended in victories. They also have a solid recent record against Excelsior at this venue. Furthermore, Excelsior has had a mediocre form going into the match.
A victory for Nijmegen and Under 3.5 goals at 2.60 odds will be our main betting pick here considering all the observations.
Also, considering Nijmegen’s excellent form, we can’t see them slipping at all. Therefore, you can back the hosts to have the lead at halftime and win the match at the end at odds of 2.25.
