The reason is based on their current form, but also on the way they play when facing each other. The home team had three out of the last five encounters with at least three goals scored while NEC had four matches with over 2.5 goals from the same number of games.

Football Lover. All-round junkie of the beautiful game. Could be found watching football most of the time. If not he’s writing about them or making some punditry you don’t agree with. A certain bias for Arsenal and Santos FC.
