PEC Zwolle NEC betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 15^th position of the league, with 12 points won, after 2 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in a home match against Go Ahead Eagles, by (1‑1). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Ajax, by (1‑2). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 3 points in away matches and 9 points at their stadium, with 16 goals scored and 14 goals conceded at home, against 6 goals scored and 11 conceded in away matches. In the last 5 away league matches NEC has a record of 3 draws and 2 losses, so they have won 3 points out of 15 possible.

In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 5 away matches. In their away league matches, the most frequent final score was the 1‑1 (2 out of 5 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 13 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 20 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 10 of their 26 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

NEC's drop in performance in the Dutch championship as a visitor is remarkable. Aware that something needs to change in the field, the coaching staff needs to act. Correcting the mistakes made in previous matches is the first step to ensuring a better performance in the next duel against Zwolle. Scoring should be their main goal when facing this challenge.
