NEC form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Eredivisie this season. NEC have only managed 0 wins, 5 draws and 1 loss from their games here at Stadion De Goffert. So many draws at home for NEC, an amazing five in a row now.
NEC enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at SC Cambuur's place. The match ended 1-0 with Schøne scoring. This was their first victory after ten consecutive league matches not winning! NEC goalkeeper Cillessen did an outstanding job against SC Cambuur with six saves, so vital to securing the victory. Goalkeeper Cillessen got the top rating on the team in that game; 8.25 out of ten. Cillessen topped it up with a clean sheet.
A defeat was the result before that one, 0-3 away at PSV.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how NEC have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 12 games) they have won 6 times, drawn 4 and lost 2.
Low-scoring affair? Looking at this team's last 11 league matches, 9 have seen two goals or less.
The NEC fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 7 in 6 matches. NEC's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 8 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
