NEC Nijmegen
- NEC Nijmegen have won just 1 and lost two of their last three home games, but the 1.3 for the home team to win on Sunday still looks extremely low for the fourth-placed club that have built up a solid record at the Goffertstadion over the course of the 2025-2026 Eredivisie season.
- With 43 points from 25 games, Dick Schreuder’s side have done a superb job and are worthy of their position in the upper reaches of the table.
FC Volendam
FC Volendam, meanwhile, are hovering above the drop zone in 14th after taking 27 points from their first 25 games and the form has been picking up over the last few weeks with three wins and only two losses from their last five.
Head-to-Head
- FC Volendam have won just one of their last 12 away Eredivisie matches (D2, L9).
- NEC Nijmegen have won each of the last three meetings between the sides, including a 1-0 home win in the KNVB Cup 2025/2026 four weeks ago.
Key Players
- Bryan Linssen has eight Eredivisie goals in 23 appearances this term, making him NEC’s most reliable goal threat.
- Dave Kwakman has been less of a reliable scorer in the league, but his three assists in Volendam’s last five games have helped to ignite their recent scoring spree.
Betting Insights
- This game will be a real contrast in styles between two clubs who will want to impose their philosophy on the game, but Volendam need the points more and they will certainly take the game to NEC.
- However, Volendam have conceded 24 goals in 12 Eredivisie away games this season and are unlikely to keep things tight enough to get a result.
- The matchup of their playing styles should lead to an end-to-end game and we can expect plenty of goalmouth action in this one with both teams well capable of scoring.
- Over 2.5 goals is marked at 1.35 and Both Teams to Score - Yes is priced at 1.55.
Prediction
NEC are a more talented and well-drilled team overall and with home advantage, should have enough to win on the day.
