Our algorithm predicts a convincing 3-0 victory for Nijmegen in this matchup.

NEC welcome Volendam to Goffertstadion with both clubs pursuing contrasting objectives as the Eredivisie campaign moves into its decisive stretch. NEC sit fourth with 43 points from 25 matches (12W, 7D, 6L) and remain firmly in the race for European qualification, while Volendam occupy 15th place with 24 points (7W, 6D, 12L) as they attempt to distance themselves from the relegation zone.

The historical balance favours NEC, who have won 14 Eredivisie meetings compared to Volendam’s eight, alongside 11 draws. Recent encounters underline that advantage even further, with NEC unbeaten in their last eight matches against Volendam (seven wins and one draw). The most recent meeting between the sides, played just a month ago, ended in a narrow 1–0 victory for the Nijmegen club.

NEC’s season has been defined by attacking productivity. They have scored 61 goals in 25 matches, averaging well over two goals per game, though defensive solidity has occasionally been an issue, with the side conceding 43. Their recent run has been mixed, producing one win, two draws and two defeats in the last five fixtures, while they have failed to keep a clean sheet in six consecutive matches.

At home, however, NEC remain a difficult proposition. They have won seven of their twelve matches at Goffertstadion and generally maintain strong attacking numbers in Nijmegen.

Volendam arrive after a dramatic 3–2 win over Groningen, one of three victories in their last five matches. That improved attacking return has seen them score seven goals during that period, although defensive vulnerabilities remain a persistent concern. They have gone 11 matches without a clean sheet and have struggled particularly on the road, collecting just one away win all season.
