Match preview: NEC vs Waalwijk

NEC and Waalwijk meet at Weeren’s SporPark for a match in the 29th round of the Eredivisie. NEC Nijmegen won their last encounter 3-0 during this league edition on 9 November 2024. The recent head-to-head record favours the home side, who have won 7, drawn 1 and lost 2 of their last 10 matches. The home advantage may play a crucial role, as Waalwijk has displayed inconsistencies between their performances at home and as visitors.

Team analysis: NEC

The home team currently sits in 13th place, having accumulated 30 points from 8 wins, 6 draws, and 14 losses. In their penultimate match, they drew 3-3 at home against AZ, followed by a 2-0 defeat away to Sparta Rotterdam. The impact of home advantage has not been significant for them; their results at home and away are fairly similar. In their last 30 matches, they have recorded 4 wins, 3 draws, and 8 defeats as visitors, with 12 goals scored and 21 conceded, contrasting with 4 wins, 4 draws, and 5 losses at home, scoring 32 goals and conceding 24. Their last 10 home games in the league have yielded 3 wins, 4 draws, and 3 losses, collecting 13 points from a possible 30. Defensive solidity has not been their strong suit, as they have conceded in 8 of their last 10 games. However, they have managed to score in 7 of those matches. At home, there tends to be plenty of goals, with 11 out of 14 matches ending with over 2.5 goals. In 28 league games, they have conceded the first goal 16 times and never managed to turn the score around.

Returning home after a challenging fixture against Sparta, NEC lacks momentum. Their home form in the Eredivisie recently has been underwhelming, creating doubts about their technical direction. Needing to provide a positive response for their fans, it is crucial that this time they deliver a strong performance without mistakes to secure the three points.

Team analysis: Waalwijk

Waalwijk currently sits in 17th position with 19 points after 4 wins, 7 draws, and 17 losses. In their last match, they drew 0-0 at home against Heracles Almelo, following a 2-2 draw away at AZ. This team has been affected by their away performances, as they have been much stronger at home, with a record of 1 win, 4 draws, and 10 losses on the road, scoring only 17 goals and conceding 34. At home, they have 5 wins, 3 draws, and 7 losses, scoring 24 goals and conceding 22. In their last 10 championship matches, Waalwijk has recorded 1 win, 4 draws, and 5 losses, accumulating 7 points from 30 available. Away from home, they have frequently been trailing at halftime, with the most common score at halftime being 1-0 (6 times in 14 matches). The team has allowed goals in 7 of their last 10 league games, displaying weak defensive capabilities. There is a trend of high-scoring matches in their away games, with all 14 of their recent fixtures ending with more than 1.5 goals. This is a team that rarely scores first, having only managed to take the lead in 7 of their last 28 Eredivisie matches, and they have only managed to win 3 of those matches after leading at halftime. Out of 28 matches, they have only turned around 1 of the 20 contests in which they conceded the first goal. Notably, they scored 8 of their 17 goals during the closing stages of their last 14 matches as visitors.

Despite their efforts to improve in the Eredivisie, Waalwijk finds themselves in a troubling phase. They struggle to distance themselves from the relegation zone and are at significant risk of being relegated this season. Needing to consistently earn points, it is vital they attempt to surprise NEC, a team that has not been victorious at home for several rounds in the competition.
