NEC Nijmegen vs PSV Eindhoven Prediction & Expert Tips

NEC Nijmegen vs PSV Eindhoven Prediction

NEC Nijmegen recorded their first defeat of the season last time out when they lost to Fortuna Sittard in a five goal thriller. The hosts were close to securing a point in that encounter after coming from behind twice to draw level. However, a late Paul Gladon’s goal ensured that they returned from the game with no point.

Moving on, Nijmegen will look to return to winning ways as they look to retain their top 3 status for at least another week. A defeat to PSV here could see Nijmegen drop to 5th or 6th depending on the results of the other teams.

Meanwhile, PSV’s surprise defeat to Telstar just before the break has attracted criticism from club faithfuls and the media. The visitors dominated for large periods during the game but failed to get it right in the final third. The result was the first time PSV failed to score in a game since March 30, when they lost 2-0 to Ajax.

They always say, it is not how you fall, it is how you respond when you fall. PSV will look to bounce back from this defeat as they set their eyes on the peak of the table. Peter Bosz’s men are unbeaten in seven competitive matches, winning each of their last six.

NEC Nijmegen vs PSV Eindhoven Preview

Considering the recent performances of both teams, PSV is expected to emerge victorious. This claim is backed by PSV’s dominance in recent head-to-head meetings, which includes eight wins, one draw and one defeat in ten meetings. The visitors’ away form could play a key role here as well.

A high-scoring result is expected here because Nijmegen’s last eight matches averaged 4.1 goals per game, while PSV’s last eight produced 4 goals per match. With both teams thriving in attack but vulnerable at the back, over 3.5 goals looks highly probable.

Lastly, both teams to score looks a great deal because NEC Nijmegen scored in each of their last sixteen games across all competitions and PSV only failed to score once in their last sixteen matches as well.
