NEC form and stats

NEC have played 9 Eerste Divisie games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-2-2 (wins-draws-losses).

NEC's last game was hosting Excelsior (placed 15th) and winning 3-2. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Telstar (2-5).

The game against Excelsior had lots of late drama as NEC came back from being down 0-2 and finally secured the victory through Jordy Bruijn's goal in the 86th minute.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for NEC, as the KNVB Beker home game vs Fortuna Sittard is only four days away.

Goals decide football matches and NEC are scoring many of them at home; 18 on target from 9 league matches. 10 goals have been conceded.

SC Cambuur form and stats

The away performances of SC Cambuur, who have the most scored goals (58) in Eerste Divisie, have been very solid so far with 8 wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats in the Eerste Divisie. The question is whether this happy travelling can continue. SC Cambuur has been amazing away for a time now, winning seven in a row on their travels. The last time they went home with a point loss was against FC Oss.

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Eerste Divisie home defeat versus FC Volendam with 0-1 on the scoreboard. Prior to that result Cambuur won their away game at FC Eindhoven. The scoreline was 5-2.

The prediction for this game is lots of goals as Cambuur alone have scored more than three on average in their league games away (29 from 9 played). They concede less than a goal on average per away game (7 so far).
