Drew 1–1 at home to Go Ahead Eagles · Sep 20
That's how they've played so far. Where the model has NEC Nijmegen finishing in May, and the odds on going down, come with a free account.
What the numbers say
Season to date, measured against the rest of the division.
Attack
Wasteful, not toothless
Scoring about 20% below what their shot volume supports. Finishing that far below the run rate usually corrects.
0.80
goals per expected
Defence
They win the ball back
5th in the division for tackles. A side doing that much defending is either pressing well or living without the ball.
115
tackles
Defence
Cutting things out early
4th for interceptions without living on their clearances. That is defending before the danger, not during it.
71
interceptions
Overall
Giving the ball away
Dispossessed 77 times, more than all but a handful in the division. Territory earned and handed straight back.
