NEC Nijmegen are hosting Telstar in the Eredivisie, and this looks like a very tight match to call. Neither team is exactly flying high right now. NEC haven’t won in their last five games, with three draws and two narrow losses. Telstar have won just once in their last five, and that was against a very tough opponent, but they’ve also lost three times, including a couple of heavy defeats.

When these two sides meet, goals tend to be shared around. Their last three encounters all ended in draws, with a 1-1 and a 2-2 in the most recent meetings. Given that both teams are struggling for form and their recent games have been so close, this likely points to another draw. It feels like a contest where neither side will have enough to edge it, so a shared point is the most probable outcome.
