We say: NEC 1-0 Heerenveen

Both teams have not quite hit the heights of last season, and three points in this weekend's encounter could be the catalyst for a change in fortune going forward.   While we expect Heerenveen to put up a decent fight, we are backing NEC to narrowly edge out their visitors en route to all three points at the end of the 90 minutes.
