Match prediction for NAC x NEC

The teams NAC and NEC play at Rat Verlegh Stadion, in a match of the 19th round of the Eredivisie. In their last encounter in this competition on August 24, 2025, NEC Nijmegen won at home with a score of (3-0). The recent head-to-head record favors the visiting team, which has 2 wins and 1 loss in the last 3 matches. In this game, the home factor could play a significant role, as NAC shows notable differences in results at home versus away.

NAC Analysis

After 3 wins, 5 draws, and 10 losses, the home team is in 16th place, having earned 14 points. In their last match, they drew with FC Groningen away (0-0), having previously lost at home to Telstar (0-1). This is a team affected by the home factor, being stronger when playing in front of their home crowd, as they have recorded 2 wins, 5 draws, and 8 losses away in the last 30 matches, scoring 16 goals and conceding 23, compared to 5 wins, 3 draws, and 7 losses at home, scoring 20 goals and conceding 20. In their last 9 home games in the league, NAC has recorded 3 wins, 2 draws, and 4 losses, earning 11 points out of 27 possible. They have allowed goals to their opponents in 8 of their last 10 matches in this competition, indicating defensive weaknesses. There is a tendency for few goals in their home matches, as 4 of the last 9 ended with fewer than 1.5 goals. In 18 matches in this competition, they have only managed to turn the score around once in the 11 games where they conceded the first goal.

NAC recently secured a draw against Groningen in a game with few movements, but the general prediction remains concerning. The team has already accumulated ten losses in a season far below expectations. The 17th position in the Eredivisie table is starting to weigh on the atmosphere. Pressure mounts week after week. The reality now is a tough fight against relegation. Facing an opponent in great form intensifies the challenge. The home advantage could be crucial. Having the support of the local crowd will be essential to withstand pressure and aim to score.

NEC Analysis

After 8 wins, 5 draws, and 4 losses, the visiting team is in 4th place, having earned 29 points. In their last match, they drew with Ajax at home (2-2), following a previous away draw against Telstar (2-2). This team is less affected by the home factor, showing similar results at home and away, with 7 wins, 4 draws, and 4 losses in their last 30 games as visitors, scoring a total of 33 goals and conceding 24. At home, they achieved 7 wins, 6 draws, and 2 losses, with a total of 39 goals scored and 25 conceded. Their last away game was in the KNVB Beker, which they won (3-1) against AFC. In their last 9 away matches in the league, NEC has 3 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses, earning 12 points from 27 possible. In their league away games, the most common halftime result was 1-1 (4 in 9 matches). The team has allowed goals in 9 of their last 10 matches, showing lack of defensive solidity, but their attack has been consistent, as they scored in 9 of the last 10 matches in this competition. In 17 matches in this competition, they conceded the first goal 8 times and managed to reverse the score only twice.

NEC is experiencing a very different reality in the Eredivisie and has established itself in the upper echelon of the table. The team has been effective in scoring whenever facing weaker opponents. This solid performance boosts the team’s confidence. The moment is one of affirmation and ambition. Now, against the second to last placed team, another clear opportunity for dominance arises. The expectation is for territorial control and intensity. Displaying technical quality and being lethal in finishing will be crucial. A positive result could bring NEC even closer to the third position.
