• Time: 1:30 PM UTC
• Location: Goffertstadion

Game Overview

NEC Nijmegen hosts Groningen in a mid-table Eredivisie clash where the home side is favored by bettors and oddsmakers, but neither team is in blistering form. Both sides have a habit of scoring and conceding, suggesting goals at both ends are likely, yet recent trends hint at fewer goals than the total suggests.

Key Factors to Consider

• NEC Nijmegen has scored and conceded in 8 of their last 9 matches, showing defensive vulnerability but consistent attacking output. Groningen, meanwhile, has both scored and conceded in 4 of their last 5 away matches. Neither side is in peak form, with NEC coming off a 1-0 loss to Utrecht despite dominating possession, and Groningen drawing 1-1 with Twente despite a solid home performance[1][2].
• In the last 5 meetings, Nijmegen leads 3-1-1, including a 2-1 win in July 2025. Historically, both teams have scored in over half of their encounters, with both scoring in 5 of the last 10 meetings at Nijmegen's ground[2][7].
• No major injury updates available in the provided data. Both teams are expected to field close to full-strength squads.
• No significant external factors reported (weather, suspensions, etc.).
• Both teams are mid-table with little separating them, but NEC's home advantage and recent H2H edge could boost morale. Groningen's away form has been respectable, keeping them in contention[2][7].

Odds and Predictions

Predicted Outcome

Expect a tight, competitive match with goals at both ends, but not a high-scoring affair. Nijmegen's home strength and recent H2H record edges it, but Groningen's resilience makes them dangerous. The total goals market is the most intriguing given recent trends.

Predicted Score: NEC Nijmegen 1-0 Groningen

Game Overview

FC Utrecht hosts NEC Nijmegen in a mid-table Eredivisie clash. Utrecht has shown inconsistent form at home, while NEC has demonstrated a surprisingly strong attacking record in recent H2H matchups. Both teams are closely matched in overall performance, but NEC has outscored Utrecht in their last several meetings.

Key Factors to Consider

• Utrecht has a 3-1-1 record in their last 5 home games, but overall form is poor with only three home wins this season. NEC is in mixed form, with one away win, but has scored 27 goals (2.7 per game) against Utrecht historically, compared to Utrecht's 19 (1.9 per game).
• Utrecht leads the all-time H2H 17-15, but NEC has a +8 goal difference in recent meetings. NEC has outscored Utrecht in their last several encounters, indicating a shift in attacking dominance.
• No major injuries reported for either side, but both teams have had rotation issues due to fixture congestion.
• Utrecht is playing at home, but their home record is not dominant. NEC has shown resilience on the road and has a strong attacking record against Utrecht.
• Both teams are fighting for mid-table stability, with little to no relegation or European qualification pressure. Motivation is high for both to secure points and build momentum.

Odds and Predictions

Predicted Outcome

NEC Nijmegen to win or draw (Double Chance) at odds of +156, and over 2.5 goals at odds of -122. NEC's superior attacking record in H2H and Utrecht's poor form make NEC a strong value play for the double chance, while both teams' attacking tendencies suggest a high-scoring game.

• Location: MAC³PARK stadion, Zwolle

Game Overview

A mid-table Eredivisie clash between 14th placed FC Zwolle and 11th placed NEC Nijmegen, with NEC favored due to better recent form and overall higher league standing.

Key Factors to Consider

• Historically NEC Nijmegen has a superior record with 56.64% estimated win probability versus Zwolle's 27.82%, and past matches favor NEC in both results and goal difference.
• No significant absentees reported for either side impacting the match, indicating both teams can field close to full strength.
