Excelsior face a tough challenge at home as the model favours an away win for NEC Nijmegen, with a 53% chance of victory compared to 23% for a home win and 24% for a draw. The expected total goals hover around 3.1, yet the most likely total is two goals, a 22% probability. The single most likely scoreline is 1-1, with an 11.1% chance. Excelsior’s home form shows a modest 1.2 goals scored and 1.6 conceded against stronger opposition, while NEC’s away form is stronger, averaging 2.6 scored and 2.2 conceded against weaker teams. Suggested picks include Under 5.5 cards at 87%, Over 1.5 goals at 83.1% (hit), Under 25.5 fouls at 78.4% (hit), and Under 4.5 cards at 74.3%.

Results analysis

The latest Eredivisie clash saw NEC Nijmegen’s away form continue its upward swing, extending a win after a 3-1 triumph over PEC Zwolle, while Excelsior returned from a 2-1 victory at Sparta Rotterdam. The model’s pre-match favourite, an away win at 53% probability, proved correct as NEC secured a 0-2 victory. The model also predicted an over 1.5 total, a hit with 83.1% confidence, and an under 25.5 fouls, also a hit at 78.4%. The most likely scoreline of 1-1 (11.1%) and 1-2 (9.7%) did not materialise, but the overall predictions were largely accurate, confirming the model’s assessment of NEC’s advantage.

🔥 12. Top picks for this game

Every selection Pythia rates above 70%, ordered by probability. Use Min odds to match the prices you want: slide down for near-certainties at short prices, up for longer prices. Unpriced picks are ranked on the model's fair odds. Edge defaults to Yes, showing only selections priced BELOW what the model makes them; switch to All to include the rest, and picks we hold no price for. The five columns are the best market prices (highest first) for each pick; edge is vs the average. Result grades each pick against the final score.
