Statistics suggest that their form is good coming into the match, and they should be too strong for their opponents. The odds from the bookmakers suggest so too, and when that happens you've got reason to feel confident. A NEC win is the way to go, even if a tight match is possible.

Goal Statistics

A PG of 2.1 is fairly strong for NEC Nijmegen in their meeting with Heracles Almelo, as is their run of scoring 1 goal or more in 46 consecutive Eredivisie games.

Goals have been an issue for Heracles Almelo of late. It has been 10 Eredivisie matches since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.1 suggests they'll struggle to end that run on Saturday night against NEC Nijmegen.
