NEC Nijmegen vs Telstar
📖 The Preview
NEC Nijmegen edge this one at home, and the head-to-head record backs that up with three wins against just one loss. Their form is mixed, sure, but that 52% win probability over Telstar's 22% tells you where the weight sits. Losing Schuurs to a knee injury doesn't help, but NEC still have enough at home to get over the line. Telstar will make it interesting and grab one back, but a 2-1 to the hosts feels about right here.
